The Race before 1800 working group is back for an exciting semester of events. We would like to invite you to our first meeting, which will be held on Zoom on February 10th @ 11:30am. You can register for the event using this link.
We will be reading two essays: Carina Johnson's "Heritable Identity Markers, Nations and Physiognomy" and María Elena Martínez' "The Black Blood of New Spain: Limpieza de Sangre, Racial Violence and Gendered Power in Early Colonial Mexico." You'll find both essays attached to this email. Professor Johnson will be joining our conversation.
