Research Abstract
My research examines the international dimensions of racialization, racial identities, and the racialization of poverty. I study philanthropic and educational organizations that have had a global reach to talk about the production of traveling academic and popular debates about race, culture, poverty, and work. I am particularly concerned with the influence that scholars from South Africa and the United States have had on each other in the framing of their distinctive national debates about race and post-raciality. As a comparative political theorist I am concerned about the function of race and enslavement in national identity which has important implications for theories of citizenship, immigration, democracy, and justice.
My book, "Waste of a White Skin: The Carnegie Corporation and the Racial Logic of White Vulnerability" analyzes the political and historical impact and effects of the Carnegie Commission Study of Poor Whites in South Africa, 1927-1932. Waste of a White Skin is a study of the international dimensions of racialization of the poor in South Africa. Through attention to racial and class formations deployed by philanthropic organizations and social scientists in the United States and South Africa, I consider the politics of scientific racism and civilizing missions in particular with regard to the construction of the social identity “poor whites.”
