G. Heng's Invention of Race in the Middle Ages, C. Whitaker's Black Metaphors, and S. Lomuto's 2019 essay on the King of Tars are great texts on medieval race and the work that race does that could be paired with something like the IBWA to better contextualize those images 14/

It’s most frustrating to have discussions about premodern critical race when medievalists still seem stuck in definitional wrangles where multiple recent pieces have already laid out the scene and the historiography.

I absolutley agree with all of this. The work is there, we need to read it! And I’m very much looking forward to Betancourt’s book as well. Hope you’re doing well, Dorothy.

Yes. FWIW
@letfancyroam did try to reframe the question, but the question was specifically about epidural skin color. I'm going to very briefly try to give historians a run-down of race today - explicitly de-centering whiteness and skin color generally - we'll see how it goes.Thanks.
