An interesting thread. (I, for one, never finished Kindred. I read a good portion of it in summer 2016 and really could not suffer through another page. 🤢 Sorry to all the Octavia Butler fans out there.) https://t.co/i1PH0QoKtq

Critical Race Theory: The Key Writings That Formed the Movement

Kimberle Crenshaw
no thrones on arakkono thrones on arakko

@ArqueeTorrese @RenyTure From Kimberle Crenshaw's 1991 piece--her second major piece explaining her concept of intersectionality. As an outgrowth of critical race theory, intersectionality's "contemporary politics" were those of the post-civil rights era. Applying to 17th-19th centuries is anachronistic. https://t.co/JLNIqs77KB

I just finished my third re-read of this roundtable about Calvin Warren's _Ontological Terror_ https://t.co/rpbxpGp2Rv And... yeah... Warren leaves bodies on the floor. That final exchange is bloody.

Black Skin, White Masks

Frantz Fanon

@scientistmike35 @DontQuot3Me From there, I think either tackle Marriott's Whither Fanon? or tackle Black Skin, White Masks (and Fanon is actually a really good writer, so what's really required is patience).

This has been a perpetual crisis for many low-income Americans and we need not even talk about the ways the housing market is made more profitable for capitalists because of government-subsidized racism, but talk about it we will. Rec: Nathan Connolly's _A World More Concrete_. https://t.co/lR3NQdQebE

Rewatching Star Trek: Discovery and the whole cast is great. Michelle Yeoh is so awesome in it. And Sonequa Martin-Green plays Michael Burnham with so much sincerity--she carries this show for real. Excellent casting decision. https://t.co/zsgPEMF69F

So, when Lewis Gordon talks about "disciplinary decadence" as cannibalistic decay, I get it (and this old thread I'm linking gets into it a bit). https://t.co/hJcBOKsP5e
