What proposal do you have to RE-RELAY this ethnography beyond the monograph?

Tuesday, October 15, 2019 - 7:50pm

I think the text could lend itself well to a museum exhibit and/or a in-person or online educational workshop for adults. It could also be a podcast series. Any educational module could include mapping activities/sketches for participants on constructs of whiteness and blackness, forms of domination, and the scientific and eugenic practices of the Poor White Study.

The sketch proposes that the text could be presented in the form of an educational module for U.S. and South African children. It also suggests that the text could be presented on an educational online platform with interactive features and a historical archive of photos, videos, etc.

What is the COVER of the book described and what do you make of it?

Blurry forlorn dog in the foreground and a rural plot of land in the background with trees, a tent, and a white man crouched, cooking over a fire. What most caught my eye was the beat-up red armchair. There are only three colors in the image - green, brown, and a pop of red.

What is the DESIGN of the text described?

Tuesday, October 15, 2019 - 7:30pm

Each chapter could be a stand-alone essay and focuses on a particular group/process involved in the Poor White Study. The layout performs an argument through looking at socio-cultural processes versus specific geographies.
