Dr. Dianne Stewart & Dr. Kyrah Daniels Religion Dispatch Op-Ed (This is No Ordinary Anti-Blackness — The Racist History of the Pet-Eating Conspiracy)

Dr. Dianne Stewart and Dr. Kyrah Daniels co-authored an op-ed on Trump and Vance’s racist claims about Haitian immigrants in Springfield, OH. They contextualize the current moment with past displays of anti-Blackness and look at how this moment compounds anti-Blackness with the religious stereotyping and mischaracterization of Vodou. Their insight serves as historical analysis and a reminder of the histories that have shaped this moment.
