Please join MSP for an afternoon Q&A with author Cord J. Whitaker of Wellesly College who will discuss with us his book, Black Metaphors: How Racism Emerged from Medieval Race-Thinking (UPenn 2019). A limited number of copies of the book are available for those interested in joining the discussion, as is a .pdf of the Introduction. Please contact the Director of Medieval Studies, Deborah McGrady (dlm4z), for text copies and for details to join the discussion. This event is possible thanks to the support of New Literary History and the Department of English.
