Between #SHEAR2020 and David Silverman's April 2020 AHR hit piece, I wish this kind of academic racism and gatekeeping were shocking, but I'm only shocked that both were given such prominent platforms.

Like I'm not even Indigenous myself and I have a whole list of wild, bigoted shit senior scholars (reviewers, editors, panel chairs, randos) have said to me and my grad students abt my/their work on Indigenous history, including at SHEAR and Omohundro meetings.

I've had scholarship rejected bc one reviewer took issue with discussing survivance and sovereignty in a piece on the 18th/19th c, I've had students told they have to remove references to racism and settler colonialsm in the 19th c as a condition of a revise and resubmit.

The same AHR that was fine to do a both sides but let’s listen to the violent fascist in medieval studies & obviously the WOC jr. scholar has never gotten violent threats (open internet to see them proliferating on social media). The org is a racist fascist supporting hot mess.

They have never taken it down. They are fine supporting violent white supremacist fascists. Writer has mediocre white man failed up. He is a judge for the AHR book prize when as far as I know has published 1 article or 2.... so fascist supporter on the AHR book prize committee.
