What did calls for the protection of “civilized labor” and a “white wage” mean to the history of race and class in apartheid South Africa? How did depiction of African workers as “cheap” and “inefficient” laborers “encroaching on white jobs” characterize African women and men as having a purely ornamental function in the history of South African industrialization? What does this legacy suggest about contemporary post-apartheid struggle in South Africa? \nTiffany Willoughby-Herard is an Associate Professor of African American Studies at the University of California\, Irvine. She is the author of WASTE OF A WHITE SKIN: THE CARNEGIE CORPORATION AND THE RACIAL LOGIC OF WHITE VULNERABILITY (University of California Press\, 2015) and editor of the NATIONAL POLITICAL SCIENCE REVIEW. \nSponsored by the IHC’s African Studies RFG\, the Center for Black Studies Research\, and the History Department \n  \n\nWilloughby-Herard1-Flyer\, 3 Feb. 2016 URL:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/events/public-lecture-racialized-paths-to-proletarianization-myths-about-black-economic-competition-cheap-labor-and-white-vulnerability/ LOCATION:HSSB 4041\, University of California Santa Barbara\, Santa Barbara\, CA\, 93106\, United States CATEGORIES:Public Lecture ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.history.ucsb.edu/wp-content/uploads/Willoughby-Herard-Waste-of-a-White-Skin-Cover.jpg GEO:34.4139629;-119.848947 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=HSSB 4041 University of California Santa Barbara Santa Barbara CA 93106 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=University of California Santa Barbara:geo:-119.848947,34.4139629 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20151120T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20151120T150000 DTSTAMP:20260419T045149 CREATED:20151016T220713Z LAST-MODIFIED:20151116T232009Z UID:10002397-1448024400-1448031600@www.history.ucsb.edu SUMMARY:Maria Fedorova\, Radical Relief: American Food Aid to the Soviet Union\, 1921-1923 DESCRIPTION:Ms. Fedorova is completing a dissertation on American food aid and agricultural development in the Soviet Union during the 1920s and early 1930s. \n  \nThis event is one of many included in the Center for the Study of Work\, Labor\, and Democracy‘s “Power and Policy across National Borders” series.
