SUMMARY:History of Racism #1:  The Origins of Race and Racism  (1619-1800s)
DESCRIPTION:This first seminar in the history of racism series answers the questions "How and why were Black and White races developed?” and "How and why was anti-Black Racism developed?” We trace the historical evolution of the social construction of race from the early colonial period\, when the colonies were still a class-based society like in England\, through the middle colonial period when the Black-White racial binary and a race-based caste system was constructed through laws. Through primary source evidence\, we learn that racism did not lead to slavery\, but rather\, slavery lead to racism\; economic interests led to racial narratives and a racial caste system. We also demonstrate that racism--the myth of Black racial inferiority--was the narrative that white elites/slave owners created (“the story we tell”) to both rationalize slavery (economic interests) and divide poor Whites and Blacks (political interests).
