The Invention of Race [WNYC.org]

Elizabeth Perry 7/30/192:25 PM

Essential knowledge for those of us working on decolonizing our minds and conceptualizing white body supremacy.

This is a compilation of interviews with scholars outlining the historical origin of the concept of race and its use as a tool for economic and power advantage.

If you like history, this is a great lesson, that will debunk what many of us have believed all our lives.

Listening, I felt like a frog that's lived in water all my life, finally getting a sense of what water actually is.

Here's the link to the compilation audio: https://www.wnyc.org/story/invention-race/

Here's the link to 14 podcasts in the series, Seeing White:

My journey to understanding race, racism and my white privilege continues.
