“We bring these elsewheres from Black studies, ethnic studies, women and gender studies, and the lives we lived before the academy. Nervous and eager to prove ourselves, we sometimes submit to disciplining: the various ways we are asked to prove ourselves to be “good” anthropologists. In this process, what we bring from elsewhere isn’t always seen as an asset. At best, it is simply misunderstood. At worst, our offerings are seen as threatening the hows and whys of doing anthropology. This is a good thing.” - Ashanté Reese

“While some of these engagements provided genuine opportunities to wrestle through core issue in Black studies and Black politics, many left me feeling like a Black thought vending machine, asked to spit out consumable abolitionist snacks in exchange for a middling honorarium.” - Savannah Shange
