Revisiting Lists in a Time of Neutrality

Malini Guha contributes a reflective Deep Dive that revisits her previous essay about anti-racist list-making during the summer of 2020. Along with analyzing artist Cauleen Smith’s drawings of book covers in her Human_3.0 Reading List (2015-2016) project, Malini contrasts the 2020 list-making moment with the absence of topical lists about Palestine during a current “time of neutrality.”
