The Historical Formation of Races. Linda Alcoff
@ CUNY Grad Center 5318
Mar 16 @ 4:00 pm – 6:00 pm
This talk will develop the idea that racial identities are best understood as formed through large scale historical events, and that this genesis can only be obscured by disavowals of racial categories as conceptually mistaken and inevitably morally pernicious. In this sense, races are formed not simply as ideas, or ideologies and policies, as many social constructivists about race argue, but as forms of life with associated patterns of subjectivity including, as a wealth of[...]
