FICTION - CHRISTINE SLEETER Family History in Black and White is a primer for anyone who wants to learn about history, race, gender, school dynamics, teaching, curriculum, ethnic studies, urban school reform, and so much more.

CRITICAL FAMILY HISTORY In sum, critical family history applies insights from various critical theoretical traditions to an analysis of how one’s family has been constructed historically within and through relations of power. This all gets complicated because one cannot simply add up critical theory, critical race theory, and critical feminist theory as separate lenses.

CONFRONTING RACISM AT HOME My explorations at this time are thus narrowed to my maternal side, which is a little easier to trace. This choice is both a matter of convenience but also a function of having spent a great deal of my childhood with “Pop” – my beloved maternal grandfather. DIFFERENT KINDS OF DNA ANALYSIS DNA is located in two places: in the genes within cell nuclei, and in mitochondria inside the cell but outside the nucleus. In this entry, I explain the difference between two kinds of DNA analysis: BioGeographical Ancestry, and Mitochondrial Ancestry. CONTEXT QUESTIONS FRAMEWORK When I was beginning to analyze my own family history, and doing so within a larger context, my questions about context were pretty broad. For example, I thought about German immigrant ancestors to Illinois in relationship to German immigration during the 1800s, and the historyof Illinois.

FACING INJUSTICES HEAD-ON THROUGH CRITICAL FAMILY HISTORY By Christine Sleeter • 10 Feb, 2021 I grew up hearing a story about my grandfather who, with nothing but a third grade education, ended up providing for his family and doing well economically. The story's implication was that he worked hard for what he got, and if he could do it, so could anyone else. For a long time, I didn’t think to analyze this story critically. Like many other people, I simply accepted it. (He did work hard, by the way, that part of the story I’ve never disputed.) As I discussed in a recent talk invited by the Sutro Library in San Francisco, I began developing Critical Family History as I delved into my own white family’s historical experiences, replacing the historical amnesia I had grown up with, with a fine-grained look at how social systems had worked for, and for the most part benefited, my ancestors and ultimately me. I sensed that locating me and my people within that past would provide a basis for joining efforts to address injustices that have long historic roots, injustices that I have inherited and for the most part benefited from. I am not by any means the first person, nor the first professional class white person, to dig into my ancestors’ roles in creating, maintaining, and benefiting from social systems at the expense of people who have been minoritized and/or economically poor. But I think that I have provided a language and some examples that are helping to bring to the table others who are interested in, thinking about, or already engaged in this work. My own work can be found in a handful of academic articles (such as "Critical family history: Situating family within contexts of power relationships" published in 2016 by the Journal of Multidisciplinary Research , and "Becoming white: Reinterpreting a family story by putting race back into the picture" published in 2011 by Race Ethnicity and Education ). It can also be found in three novels: White Bread examines culture and language that German ancestors were forced to give up, even as they benefited from white supremacy. The Inheritance tells the story of a white person coming to grips with being a descendant of the colonizers of Indigenous peoples, and what one might do with that knowledge. Family History in Black and White , which will appear in about March 2021, explores racism today and historically through viewpoints of two school administrators, one Black and the other white. Stay tuned for that one, I think it’s my best novel yet. In mid-2020, I guest edited a special issue of the journal Genealogy , focusing on Critical Family History . Seventeen articles by authors in the U.S. and New Zealand explore topics such as uncovering a family's settler colonial history, examining what it means to be Black in an interracial family, finding out how white grandparents became citizens (the process for whites was not like the cumbersome process today), using photovoice to find untold stories in a Vietnamese immigrant family, and seeking dual U.S.-Cabo Verde citizenship. These articles show different ways of using Critical Family History, but what they all have in common are revelations that come when one's family is explicitly situated within historic relations of power. Just a couple of days ago, I was thrilled to be featured in a wonderful article in an Australian online-publication called Conversations. That article , "Truth telling and giving back: How settler colonials are coming to terms with painful family histories" highlights several white people in Australia and the U.S. who are uncovering “their family histories as a way of re-examining the impact of centuries of dispossession and slavery of Indigenous peoples.” When I started working with the idea of Critical Family History, I sensed that it has power to engage members of diverse groups of people in a critical examination of our shared pasts, and particularly pasts in which some of our ancestors built structures to benefit people like themselves, at the expense of other people. Those structures still exist. We inherit them. We can dismantle them. Many examples are now showing how. TWO NOVELS ON THEIR WAY By Christine Sleeter • 18 Sep, 2020 Two of my social fiction novels will be emerging soon! An anniversary edition of White Bread is in the process of being released from Brill-Sense. This second edition is very similar to the first edition, but with some improvements based on feedback from the first edition. You can order it now from Brill and Amazon . White Bread narrates Jessica’s journey into her family’s past, into herself, and into the bicultural students she teaches but does not understand. Jessica, a fictional white fifth-grade teacher, is prompted to explore her German-American family history by the unexpected discovery of a hundred-year-old letter (I fictionalized the letter but not the people in the letter). White Bread pulls readers into a tumultuous six months of Jessica’s life as she confronts many issues that turn out to be interrelated: Why does she know so little about her German-American family’s past? Why are the Latino teachers advocating for Raza Studies, and what does that mean? Can she become the kind of teacher who sparks student learning? White Bread was inspired by many things, but one of them was a German language textbook written by my great aunt, Flora Ross, published in 1938. My grandmother and great aunt were born to a German immigrant who became a pastor, and a second-generation German woman. What puzzled me was, why did I not learn a single word of German at home while growing up? Aside from a couple of my grandmother's favorite dishes, why was almost no German culture passed on to my generation, nor historical memory of my family's German roots? White Bread explores that question. Family History in Black and White , also to be published by Brill-Sense, will be out sometime early in 2021. Situated within today’s rapidly shifting racial demographics, this novel traces two competitors for the position of school superintendent. One is white and one is Black; both are urban high school principals. Ben, who had been bullied as a child, craves public recognition but, unsure whether he can trust today’s competitive process to be fair to a white man, wrestles with compromising his own integrity to get what he wants. Roxane, who has navigated racism all her life, craves recognition of her humanity, but can’t be sure which of the professionals around her are actually trustworthy, including her chief competitor, Ben. In the end, both must ultimately reckon with the reverberations of a surprising twist in their histories. Like White Bread , this novel was prompted by many things, one of which was deed of sale of farm animals I found in the deeds records of Monroe County, Tennessee, while tracing my mother's family history. I couldn't figure out why someone (one of my ancestors) would write and record a deed for 3 farm animals. As I looked further into it, I realized that the transaction was between my white ancestor, and an African American sharecropper (probably) nearby. Further, the deed was worked out as a loan rather than a sale. What could be the story behind it, I wondered? In Family History in Black and White , you will discover what might have been the story and how that story relates directly to the present day. Stay tuned forearly 2021!
PROTESTS AND WHITE SUPREMACY By Christine Sleeter • 31 May, 2020 Recently we have witnessed white people in several states (including Michigan and California) protesting restrictions designed to prevent spread of COVID-19. Some of these protests include not only white people wearing MAGA hats without facemasks, but also some carrying confederate flags, nooses, and guns. As Hailey Branson-Potts, Anita Chabria, Andrew J. Campa, Priscella Vega noted in the LA Times , “The overwhelmingly white makeup of the protests is not lost on people of color, some of whom see it as an overt display of privilege.” White people protesting what they see as infringements on individual liberties has a long history. Today’s protests do not come out of nowhere. I see them as part of a long arc of racial history in the U.S., dating back about four hundred years. In his book The Invention of the White Race , Theodore Allen explained that the ruling class created the notion that people can be divided and ranked hierarchically based on biology (race) as a form of social control. European landowners feared rebellion by their workers who might unite around common grievances of exploitation. They came up with a solution. Give some status and privileges to the patchwork multitudes from Europe in exchange for their languages – unite them as white – and they would help keep everyone else in line. That strategy worked. Back in the 1700s, white people might have toiled as indentured servants, but not as people enslaved for life. Following the Civil War, many white people used violence to try to recreate the antebellum racial structure. During the rise of labor unions, white workers for the most part prohibited people of color from joining, and refused to advocate on behalf of issues of concern to workers of color. (Ever wonder why farmworkers and most domestic workers do not qualify for unemployment? Think racism.) Today’s white protestors swim in the same stream as their predecessors, protecting Trump in much the same way white ancestors protected white landowners. Today’s gun-wielding protestors may not be able to become wealthy like Trump – they cannot become the landowners themselves. But being white like Trump, they feel emboldened to demand privileges that just so happen to require the labor and risk-taking of people of color. If we are to build a racially just society, we need to begin by unearthing and addressing the historic roots racism.CHECK ALL BLOGS
