DESCRIPTION:*Race and Ethnicity in History Lecture Series*\n\n*\n*This is t
 he first of five lectures by History Department faculty on the \ntheme of 
 'Race and Ethnicity in History.' The series is cosponsored by the \nDean o
 f Intercultural Development and the Africana Studies Program.\n\nToo often
 \, slavery and industrial modernity have been seen as fundamentally \ninco
 mpatible. It is a comforting myth\, underpinning a faith in markets\, \nca
 pitalism\, and progress that has nothing to do with either coercion or \nr
 acism. As I will explore in this talk\, however\, it is a myth based on a 
 \nhighly selective and distorted reading of the past. By closely examining
  the \nwork and social relations of the pre-Civil War Richmond coal indust
 ry through \nthe lens of a catastrophic mining accident\, this talk will s
 how how emblems \nof modernity like gaslight\, fluid free labor markets\, 
 and life insurance \nexisted not in spite of racial slavery\, but because 
 of that enslavement. By \nplacing slavery at the center of an honest accou
 nting of the history of \ncapitalism\, even industrial capitalism\, I also
  hope to spark new debate about \nthe centrality of racial slavery under f
 ascism in particular\, and the \npersistent co-existence of free and unfre
 e labor in racial capitalism more \ngenerally.\n\n
