While many people have argued that America needs to come to terms with or “work through” the racism in its history that has shaped and continues to shape its present structures\, it remains difficult to e xplain what connects this past and the present. Are we talking about one r acism with many different past and present forms? Or are there multiple ra cisms that only share some similar features? In this talk\, I draw attenti on to how these divisions play out particularly in contemporary Black Stud ies and argue that the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze can offer us resources for thinking about these questions through his discussions of repetition. I argue that understanding our conversations about structural racism and history as conversations about a racism that repeats\, can help us to bett er understand why racism seems to reappear\, how to think its disparate fo rms together\, and what presuppositions operate in many attempts to “work through” the past.\nBio: Eyo Ewara is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Loyola University Chicago.

\\nThis talk rea ds contemporary debates about structural racism and US history from the pe rspective of philosophical questions about identity and difference. While many people have argued that America needs to come to terms with or “work through” the racism in its history that has shaped and continues to shape its present structures\, it remains difficult to explain what connects thi s past and the present. Are we talking about one racism with many differen t past and present forms? Or are there multiple racisms that only share so me similar features? In this talk\, I draw attention to how these division s play out particularly in contemporary Black Studies and argue that the p hilosophy of Gilles Deleuze can offer us resources for thinking about thes e questions through his discussions of repetition. I argue that understand ing our conversations about structural racism and history as conversations about a racism that repeats\, can help us to better understand why racism seems to reappear\, how to think its disparate forms together\, and what presuppositions operate in many attempts to “work through” the past.
