“I do not want to be recognized by an academic association [AAIHS] that is unable to respond to a modest call for solidarity… and humanity.”

Orisanmi Burton withdraws from Pauli Murray Book Prize competition in solidarity with Palestine.

This is how you do it.

"Given Black people’s immobility during slavery and restricted mobility under Jim Crow segregation, it is understandable that mobility and cosmopolitanism have become hallmarks of modern subjectivity within Black Studies."

Much respect to Orisanmi Burton for rejecting his book, Tip of the Spear's nomination for the AAIHS Pauli Murray Book Prize. From twitter, "in full political alignment with the Palestinian Liberation movement and this Open Letter" hammerandhope.org/article/pale...
This brief message serves as my official withdrawal of Tip of the Spear: Black Radicalism, Prison Repression & the Long Attica Revolt from consideration for the Pauli Murray Book Prize offered by The African American Intellectual History Society (AAIHS). I arrive at this decision in full political alignment with the movement to free Palestine from settler colonial oppression, and with the critiques expressed in "An Open Letter to the Leadership of AAIHS." Published in the Fall 2024 issue of Hammer & Hope, the letter offers a sharp critique of the AAIHS's generalized silence on the US-backed, Israeli-led genocide of Palestinians. Its authors rightfully lambast the organization for "invoking a tradition rooted in anti-imperialism, international solidarity, and protest to project an image of radical politics and thought, while simultaneously remaining silent or even accommodating the brutal siege of Gaza and all of occupied Palestine." If the AAIHS truly believes that Tip of the Spear is one of the year's "best books) concerning Black intellectual history," as the prize selection criteria indicates, then the officers of the organization should engage with this intellectual history and the politics it reflects. Doing so in an ethical manner would require the AAIHS to, at minimum, enact the demands set forth in the Open Letter, which calls upon the organization to "(1) issue a statement against the Israeli state project of Palestinian annihilation and in favor of peace and freedom for Palestinians in the Middle East, and (2) issue a statement of transparency, assuring readers and potential contributors that the AAIHS's annual conference, new journal, and general activities are not being funded by the Dan David Prize." I do not want to be recognized by an academic association that is unable to positively respond to this modest call for solidarity, transparency, accountability, and humanity and it is for these reasons that I reject your nomination.

Trump is expressing one of the core beliefs of white supremacy: that people of color don't feel pain to the same extent as white people. Hispanic falls off roof? nbd

Notoriously gruesome example: gynecological surgery conducted on enslaved Black women, sans anesthesia.
