Absolutely outstanding work. Wow. However I do hate that I'm now imagining future woke-CIA liberals language policing the way we talk about "violence workers" to ensure we don't trigger them. Also, you should check out the podcast Speaking of Race - it's three brilliant academics discussing the history and philosophy of the social construct of race and its intersection with empire and other forms of violence/power. I think you would be a great guest, Alex. http://speakingofrace.ua.edu/

Outstanding. I appreciate how well this 2-part essay dove-tailed with a lot of the themes in the book I just finished, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz', Not a "Nation of Immigrants".
