Diversity Lecture Series - Fall 2007 - Cornel Pewewardy

By admin | March 1, 2008

 

Hail to the Honkies!
“Indian” Mascots as White Privilege
in American Sports Culture

Cornel Pewewardy Thursday, October 18, 2007 12:30-2pm Baxter Events Center

This presentation will explore the origins of “Indian” mascots in.American sports culture, the stereotypical messages they convey today, and the reasons for their persistence into the twenty-first century. In this unflinching look at white supremacy, Pewewardy deconstructs how “color-blind” policies actually contribute to the maintenance of racism; that the usage of “Indian” mascots in sports culture functions as a possessive investment in whiteness.
