Also feminists who are also academics in other areas, because a more free academy helps all disciplines.
I won't quite make #24in48 due to prep today and a trip tomorrow, but I can use it as an excuse to read some graphic memoir!
One page in and one of those causally racist moments from a book from 1903 where I can't tell if the author is trying to be respectful and failing or what.

pickPrimary document excerpts from Gertrude Bell's letters and diaries with commentary from one of her biographers. A good pick!
"Yes, the whites were as miserable as their black victims, I thought. If this country can't find its way to a human path, if it can't inform conduct with a deep sense of life, then all of us, black as well as white, are going down the same drain..."

Saturday afternoon at the laundromat.
And where's the follow up source saying these "racial" categories are some BS thought up by some people trying to justify colonialism?? I know this book is about identifying missing persons, but this is lazy science reporting. *eyeroll*

How little academia has changed....
