dc.description.abstractThe Middle Ages come up again and again in the discourse of white supremacists in the United States. This talk investigates the value of the Middle Ages to race and racism by exploring modern understandings of feudalism, caste systems, and racial homogeny in medieval Europe. This talk asks: How did the Middle Ages make race? How can we use that knowledge to disempower racism and make the world better?en_US
