Race, Trump, and Time
Controversies in the Making: Race, Trump, and Time Debra Thompson Associate Professor Department of Political Science University of Oregon [email protected] John Meisel Lecture Series in Contemporary Political Controversies Queen’s University Introduction It seems fitting to begin with a controversy. Last July, HBO announced that D.B. Weiss and David Benioff would follow their hit series, Game of Thrones, with a new drama entitled Confederate. It will be set in an alternate timeline in which the southern states did not lose the Civil War, but rather seceded from the Union and formed “a nation in which slavery remains legal and has evolved into a modern institution.”1 The series, they claim, would chronical the events leading up to the “Third American Civil War,” following characters on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Demilitarized Zone, including slave hunters, freedom fighters, journalists, abolitionists, and the executives of a slave-holding conglomerate. In short, the new series will ask, “What would the world look like … if the South had won?”2 Shocking nobody other than the white executives of HBO, who had to put down the piles of money they were holding in order to defensively posture that we should all “reserve judgement 1 Emily Yahr, “‘Game of Thrones’ creators announce new show set in a world where slavery still exists,” Washington Post, July 19, 2017, available at: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/arts-and- entertainment/wp/2017/07/19/game-of-thrones-creators-announce-new-show-set-in-a-world-where- slavery-still-exists/?utm_term=.8ba0ba16b409 2 Ta-Nehisi Coates, “The Lost Cause Rides Again,” The Atlantic, August 4, 2017, available at: https://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2017/08/no-confederate/535512/ 1 until there is something to see,”3 the backlash was immediate. -
US Foundations and Racial Reasoning in Brazil
03 Telles (jr/t) 19/8/03 1:05 pm Page 31 US Foundations and Racial Reasoning in Brazil Edward E. Telles IERRE BOURDIEU and Loïc Wacquant claim that ‘brutal ethno- centric intrusions’ by North American ‘cultural imperialists’ (1999: P44) have distorted scholarly and social movement ideas of race and identity in Brazil. They specifically point to the ‘driving role played by the major American philanthropic and research foundations in the diffusion of US racial doxa within the Brazilian academic field at the level of both representations and practice’ (1999: 46). These authors accuse US foun- dations of inappropriately imposing their conceptions of race on the Brazil- ian case by requiring grantees to implement US-style affirmative action, use dichotomous black/white categories and promote US-style black move- ments. They seem to make a facile assumption that because US foundations spend millions of dollars in Brazil and prioritize research on race then they must be successfully imposing standard North American conceptions of race on that country. Bourdieu and Wacquant’s analysis exaggerates the power of US foundations in Brazil, fails to understand how programming decisions are made within the foundations, greatly underestimates the intellectual agency of the Brazilian academy and its black social movement, and reveals a rather dated understanding of the academic literature and public opinion on race in Brazil. While I sympathize with a concern for the disproportionate influence of US ideas and sociological concepts overall, and, in some cases, the power of US foundations to export them, Bourdieu and Wacquant’s choice of Brazil- ian race relations as an example of US domination greatly diminishes the strength of their argument. -
1. Brazil's “Comfortable Racial Contradiction”
1. Brazil’s “Comfortable Racial Contradiction” In 2013, Brazilian journalist Paulo Henrique Amorim was sentenced to one year and eight months in prison, a sentence later upheld by Brazil’s Superior Tribunal de Justiça (Superior Court of Justice).1 His crime? He had publicly criticized the powerful Brazilian media network Rede Globo for denying that racism exists in Brazil, and he had called out one particular journalist, Heraldo Pereira, for going along with this denial, describing him as a “negro de alma branca” (black with a white soul). Amorim was later accused of racismo (racism) and injúria racial (racial insult, or an “injury to one’s honor”; see Racusen 2004:789) by both the network and Heraldo Pereira, and was found guilty of the latter. Amorim, who is politically lib- eral and often at the center of controversy, used as part of his defense the fact that he has long publicly supported antiracist efforts. He argued that he was merely exercising his freedom of speech in order to disagree with Pereira’s implicit suggestion that any black person could work hard and become rich and famous in Brazil. Despite Amorim’s desire to make Brazil’s structural racism more visible, the expression that he chose to describe Pereira allowed the powerful (and conservative) media network and the courts to find him personally guilty of racism toward another individual. As the prosecutor explained, his use of this “highly racist” expression: sugere que as pessoas de cor branca possuem atributos positivos e bons, ao passo que os negros são associados a valores negativos, ruins, inferiores. -

Michael Hanchard
Michael Hanchard Marshall Poe Welcome to the New Books Network. Hello everybody. This is Marshall Poe. I'm the editor of the New Books Network, and this is an episode in the Princeton University Press Ideas Podcast, and we're very lucky today to have Michael Henchard on the show, and we'll be talking about his book The Spectre of Race: How Discrimination Haunts Western Democracy. It is out from Princeton University Press in 2018. Michael, welcome to the show. Michael Hanchard Oh, thank you very much for having me on, Marshall. Marshall Poe Absolutely. My pleasure. Could you begin the interview by telling us a little bit about yourself? Michael Hanchard Sure. I'm currently the Gustave C. Kuemmerle Professor and chair of the Department of Africana Studies at the University of Pennsylvania. I run a project called the Marginalized Populations Project which looks at marginalized populations from a comparative perspective. I grew up in New York City and was educated at Tufts, the New School and Princeton for my PhD. Marshall Poe Thank you very much for that. So let me ask you this. Why did you write The Spectre of Race? Michael Hanchard Well, it's a book that had been rattling around in my thoughts for some time now partly since graduate school--trying to make sense of what I learned up until that point and why I had not encountered too many books or even articles at least in political science that addressed questions of race and racism in the discipline and how the discipline itself was constituted. -
