The book also does nothing. If the point of his articles and book is he gets to Willy nilly arbitrate b/c of his random hunches. No. His art history article is just a long oh look here oh look there I have decided because litany. He uses no frame. It’s terrible.

The lack of footnotes is hair tearing. We are literally writing in the style of the 1950s. I would expect Michael Gomez’s work would be more useful especially his new stuff on race and Islam and West Africa.

Oh yeah, I rely heavily on Gomez. I was revisiting Bartlett for part of a lit review where I'd made an argument I have long since forgotten the support for! :)

It is very difficult to use the medieval history race work mostly b/c they all are stuck in pre-civil right eugenicist definitions and have avoided 60 years of race scholarship in the social sciences. It is like a funhouse white supremacist bubble.

It would be nice if they would read what the rest of the social sciences are up to at the very least. I get the sense they will ignore the literature folks and religious studies and art history folks etc. but they could check in w/ their larger area.

Yeah I'd have no leg to stand on if it weren't for CRT, and it's often strange to see people pay lip service to it without understanding its history and context, to say nothing of current scholarship. I like to think folks are getting better about much of this, though...

Ahhh but then you see the weird field backlash. Even though a lot of CRT is from the social sciences.

Yeah, again, it's easy for me as a non-Europeanist to stand outside the bubble and pull edifying cases. I don't know what it's like to be in that particular maelstrom. In Arabic lit/Islamic studies, there are distinct complications especially re: theology learned vs. lived.

As well as the prevalent notion that race was visited upon the non-west by colonialism.

Different scholarly genealogies. Gomez’s work will be super helpful then.
