Race, Slavery, Colonialism, & the Making of Capitalism

The recent worldwide explosion of Black Lives Matter foregrounded the ways in which systematic anti-Black racism operates in our world. What is the relationship between anti-Black racism, the histories of racial slavery, and colonialism? Is anti-Black racism a product of capitalism? These questions and others will be debated and discussed in the webinar forum Race, Slavery, Colonialism, and Capitalism: Contemporary Views.
