Select as many works from this semester’s multi-modal texts as you wish
Topic: As we have discussed this semester, the creation of races was an intentional project that resulted from the European Enlightenment and its philosophical, artistic, and scientific communities. The various forms of violence perpetrated against the oppressed by whiteness expose the horrors of living in a world of white supremacy domination, especially for indigenous, Black, and brown communities. Our thinkers this semester, use various forms of resistance to combat and deal with the violence of whiteness. Using the texts of your choice, what insights or ideas and observations impacted you the most? This doesn’t mean you agree or disagree with the authors and filmmakers we analyzed this semester, but more so, what are some takeaways from the texts for you?
