Thank you for this thread abt The White Pedestal & reflections on the UK context. @denisemccoskey.bsky.social and @drhelenroche.bsky.social have edited a volume with a more global focus: www.bloomsbury.com/uk/abusing-antiquity-9781350563728/. But most countries could use a book-length treatment!

Just finished reading @curtisdozier.bsky.social's The White Pedestal, which - aside from its other aspects - really does highlight the long history of racism among scholars of classical antiquity.
Very readable, rather illuminating. Strongly focused on American white supremacy. (It is the loudest.)
