This seminar invites a critical discourse about racial commodification and its implications for marginalized communities, giving students nuanced perspectives regarding the challenges of racial consumption in US society. It aspires to cultivate a renewed commitment to these challenges by echoing bell hooks’ caution that through the commodifying logics of the racialized marketplace “the Other will be eaten, consumed, and forgotten.”
