  • Descrição: [...]while holding the specificity of anti-Blackness very much before us, we suggest that Sharpe's insights are necessary to the broader thinking of race and racialization we wish to perform here. Together with our contributors, we want to illuminate how race and racial difference subtend our most cherished objects of study, our most familiar historical and theoretical frameworks, our most engrained scholarly protocols, and the very demographics of our field.1 We seek to challenge the multiple rigidities, cultural and conceptual, that have kept Victorian studies isolated from other fields. In particular, we want to ask why contemporary scholarship on a period and a geographical center that consolidated a modern idea of race-the nineteenth century in and beyond Britain-lacks a robust account of race and racialization. More broadly, we have to do more than lift a frame from critical race theory in an effort to save Victorian studies: we must both elucidate what Victorian studies has to offer to other fields and to a larger anti-racist project, and confront directly those aspects of the field that cannot, in keeping with this project, be saved.
