Thanks for asking. If you read my Author’s Note in my book pp. 265-266 you’ll see that I do credit Habib and also Onyeka Nubia for their scholarship and that my own research began in 2004, four years before Professor Habib published his book.1/2

Thank you. I would just offer that the premise of your book: addressing the twin misapprehensions that there were not Black people in England during this period and that they must have been enslaved if they were, was already asked and answered by Habib.

This bespeaks a larger structural problem of erasure in academia.

I am confused. You filed your dissertation in 2011. His book was published in 2008. Also why the two star review in goodreads? Which apparently was posted in 2012. So we are pretending he didn’t publish the same premise before you did? Whether is thesis filing or book?

The timeline doesn’t help at all here.

There is some citational politics going on and also whiteness as property vibes. It is kind of multiply compounded since this is about “owning” the data @ Black lives in the premodern linked to transatlantic chattel slavery. Black feminist methodology has much to say @ this.

And in the name of a raceless Tudor period where supposedly Africans don’t face race-based bias or discrimination. Thus, the period can be pre-racial even as the English were actively engaging in African enslavement and developing racialized justifications for it.

Ummm what. As a medievalist collaboratively writing w/ bioarcheologists about structural racism effecting a set of c. 1348 London grave sites w/ a 20-29% Black population spread with clear compounded harm effecting their osteobiographies, WHAT...

This is fascinating work. Can’t wait to learn more. And you cannot talk about race without being conversant with race theory and premodern critical race studies, which was around in 2017.

Also, in terms of timeline, I am just super confused. I started working on this in 2004? So if one filed the Ph.D. thesis in 2011, w/ the UK timelines, even the timelines in US, 2004 would mean you are an undergraduate? So you claim this "territory" as a white woman undergrad.?
