[deez-nuts-sixty-nine]

Please do not smoke weed right next to the gas leak it is a significant safety hazard.

[jay-aro]

[aromantic-diaries]

Chanda Prescod-Weinstein shared a great book recently on Blackness in Greek Antiquity

Untangling Blackness in Greek Antiquity by Sarah F. Derbew https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/62057860-untangling-blackness-in-greek-antiquity

How should articulations of blackness from the fifth ce…

How should articulations of blackness from the fifth century BCE to the twenty-first century be properly read and interpreted? This important and timely new book is the first concerted treatment of black skin color in the Greek literature and visual culture of antiquity. In charting representations in the Hellenic world of black Egyptians, Aithiopians, Indians, and Greeks, Sarah Derbew dexterously disentangles the complex and varied ways in which blackness has been co-produced by ancient authors and artists; their readers, audiences, and viewers; and contemporary scholars. Exploring the precarious hold that race has on skin coloration, the author uncovers the many silences, suppressions, and misappropriations of blackness within modern studies of Greek antiquity. Shaped by performance studies and critical race theory alike, her book maps out an authoritative archaeology of blackness that reappraises its significance. It offers a committedly anti-racist approach to depictions of black people while rejecting simplistic conflations or explanations.

Oh I KNOW this pissed some people off 🤣🤣 she said "critical race theory" and "Black people in the ancient world", oh the Nazis are losing their MINDS rn those are curses to them 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love to see it. Thank you!

another very recent book that may be of interest is classics and race: a historical reader, ed. sarah derbew, daniel orrells, phiroze vasunia. i bring it up especially because it's open access--the link goes directly to the pdf. it has a number of readings from the 14th century ce through to the 20th century (ending on martin luther king jr's letter from a birmingham jail) that engage with both race and with ancient mediterranean texts, all with commentary. i think it's a really cool approach!
