You’re assigning Condemnation of Blackness, right?? I know it’s not recent but I had this thought the first time I saw this post

Yeah Chapter 1 is assigned reading. I think I can get away with suggesting it for review as a 'classic.' 15th anniversary this year.

I’ve been working on some syllabi and the range of topics where I feel compelled to assign the book is pretty remarkable lol

The other thing that comes to mind, I know not helpful because not books, is this pairing. I find it fascinating bc critical sociologists/theorists find it compelling but applied people hate it (1) scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/nulr/vol113/... (2) www.phenomenalworld.org/analysis/dir...

No this is good. I mostly get there with some excerpts of White Logic, White Methods. But appreciate these

I think a good summary is that theorists have agreed on something like the social construction of race but applied work doesn't really operationalize theory // the randomistas are sacrificing theory at the altar of clean ATEs
