It's super interesting b/c people get all twisted when I point to Omi and Winant just as a very standard baseline (b/c Medieval has no baseline let alone definitions or anything) & then people have white tears & then forget that I actually do lots of CRT work, & clear in work my

CRT alignments w/ the longer genealogy on biopolitics--Wynters, Weheliye, etc. & I don't sit and write pages about this b/c why, I can just do short hand citing to that genealogy, but then people are like, OMG, I have feelings about her saying race is "embodied."

basically, doing either the Omi and Winant or going into the CRT specifics means you will just get critiqued no matter what. At this point, if they are not in the convo, they are not in the convo. These things just show their lack of any CRT as far as I can tell.

WELL.... It's pretty OMG. But also, it shows where the far right wackos want the mainstream to be and how freaked out they are about CRT and the basic of racism is bad comment.

and theory stuff is much more involved and takes a while to work through. I read Weheliye in 2014 & thought I might use it in an article I was planning to right. But the density made me withdraw from writing the article b/c I realized, I need to do more reading, work etc.

These are dense texts, complex, that require time and the ability to work through. I taught the Black and Both Sides last semester to grads. Amazing book. I loved the intro so much b/c so deft with working through the racial bio political CRT theory and transgender theory.

The skill & command as well as such precise language. This is so difficult to do and I have so much respect and also cannot say enough about how wonderful that book is. But my students had a hard time with it b/c two separate theoretical worlds & a deep theoretical discussion

that for them, they did not know both sides of that discussion and they had to work through, read, work through some more. It takes time and work. And those who can write such things are field experts who show such skill and creativity.
