Their primary focus was on raising students’ awareness of modern-day forms of racism and of the fact that in many respects racism has assumed more subtle and nuanced forms that are potentially harder to detect and fight against but are as oppressive and disastrous as the more overt/blatant forms of racism and racial discrimination we’ve grown to be more alert to. Taking their cue from specific relevant extracts from the book, the students conducted online comparative research on the evolution of racism (from the beginning of slave-trade to the 21st century) and presented their findings in class. They discussed topics such as intersectionality, Eurocentric beauty standards (especially regarding hair), microaggressions, (biracial/bicultural) identity formation, language, incarceration in America, colorism, and more, through the lens of the IB Diploma Fields of Inquiry and Global Issues.
