I had incorporated the applicability of each of our "assigned" readings into my responses bc I believe that you should address what you assign when you teach/present, which I did for hooks & for @FeliceBlake but had to cut my response on @ProfKFH's book #FolgerCRC #ShakeRace 2/

In Things of Darkness (1995), Hall calls for a more rigorous reading of race in premodern texts & teaches us that descriptions of light & dark became the mechanism through the lines btw self/other are drawn (vs descriptors of beauty/morality)

In just the first 2 pgs of her game-changing book, she lays the foundation for her patient dismantling of the anachronism myth, showing that the language used in the texts about/staging encounter betray the premodern’s participation in race work

Not only this, but
@ProfKFH centers the intersection of race & gender, saying that light/dark binaries shape concerns re gender roles due to increased travel (i.e. increased encounter). For her discussions of gender must be embedded in discussions of race#FolgerCRC#ShakeRace 5/Näytä tämä ketju -
This groundwork is crucial in how I approach teaching race generally but esp when I teach
#HarlemDuet. Whereas Shakespeare gives us the specter of a Black woman when he has Othello cite the sybil, Sears centers her, writing an entire play about her story#FolgerCRC#ShakeRace 6/Näytä tämä ketju -
Sears's play, therefore, stages the phenomenon that
@ProfKFH describes in her book (in her work), & putting Hall into conversation w Sears is effective in helping students see how race works in Shakespeare & what it means for WOC to speak back#FolgerCRC#ShakeRace /finNäytä tämä ketju
