Re: CFP: Battleground Midwest (Mid-America American Studies Association)

I am troubled by the lack of explicit attention given to race and racial injustice/inequality in this CFP, particularly considering the recognition of Ferguson and police violence. Additionally, hunger and deprivation in fact DO discriminate according to racial groups, as African-Americans, Latino/as, and Native groups are more at risk of hunger than whites.
