The American Writers Museum presents a conversation between editor Andrew S. Curran and biological anthropologist Nina G. Jablonski. Curran, along with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., is the editor of the new collection "Who's Black and Why?: A Hidden Chapter from the Eighteenth-Century Invention of Race." The first translation and publication of sixteen submissions to the notorious eighteenth-century Bordeaux essay contest on the cause of black skin―an indispensable chronicle of the rise of scientifically based, anti-Black racism.
