Whitaker, Cord J. “The History of Premodern Critical Race Studies – and Why It’s Personal.” Journal of Medieval History 51, no. 4 (2025): 570–576.
Reflecting on contemporary scholarship concerning Europe and its wider networks between the 5th and 15th centuries, this essay situates the emergence of premodern critical race studies within both intellectual history and lived experience. It traces a legacy from postcolonial studies as it argues that the PCRS’s development as a field is inseparable from personal investment and institutional critique, shaping its methods and stakes.
