In this essay, we discuss our experience as graduate teaching assistants (GTAs) in a first-year writing program with an explicitly anti-racist pedagogy. The growing literature on critical pedagogy focuses on the instructor-undergraduate student dynamic but does not address the necessary role of GTAs in implementing anti-racist pedagogy. We use feminist theory to contend that care is an inherent component of anti-racist pedagogy and that GTAs are integral actors in providing that care. We highlight the indispensable role of GTAs in navigating the complexities of larger classes as anti-racist pedagogy is scaled up beyond the individual classroom and instructor. We conclude by providing three possible solutions to address this challenge.

Based on 57 interviews with minoritized students at one highly selective PWI, this project examines how nonwhite students feel judged against two separate standards of hegemonic whiteness, where whiteness is openly valued socially but is invisible academically. This article theorizes how the explicit visibility of whiteness as a community standard of fit influences the degree to which students recognize that valued (white) standards are (1) unattainable and (2) unfair, arbitrary, and linked to a larger system of racialized oppression. The data suggest that while all forms of hegemonic whiteness are costly, visibility creates different trade-offs for fit and belonging. When whiteness is explicitly acknowledged as a valued social credential, minoritized students feel low social fit and belonging because of their inability to fully embody whiteness, but they recognize their racial devaluation is illegitimate and those alternative social standards can exist. When minoritized students do not perceive whiteness as a salient academic credential, they experience academic fit and belonging as they feel that they share individual merit with other matriculated students who have been accepted into an “elite” school. However, they also accept the meritocratic ideals that stereotype them as less academically competent and frame their academic success as racial exceptionalism. Under colorblindness, they accept the racialized status quo, even though it perpetuates their exposure to microaggressions, stereotype threat and imposter syndrome.

Given the abolitionism professed by successive labor leaders in the years following the U.S. Civil War, why did the cause of interracial solidarity fail to gain traction in postbellum organized labor? Drawing on archival and secondary data on the encounter of Black and White labor from Reconstruction to the turn of the twentieth century, we trace the failure of interracial solidarity to the labor movement’s refusal to reckon institutionally with what Hartman calls the “nonevent of emancipation” and the “afterlife of slavery” for Black populations. Enslaved artisans dominated the skilled trades before the war, and White unions emerged correspondingly to exclude Black labor. When, after the Civil War, the formerly enslaved began to argue that they were being excluded from unions, White labor used emancipation as an anti-Black discursive technology to deny those claims. White labor also employed violence to exclude Black people from the labor movement. By addressing the research puzzle in this way, we offer a novel synthesis of Black studies and the sparse but important body of work on the sociology of slavery to reframe the mainstream approach to interracial solidarity in the sociology of labor and labor movements.
