Will someone please provide biographical information to this resume?

Will someone please provide biographical information to this resume? Where was she born? Who are/were her parents? Who were her ancestors? Has she spoken about the experiences that insired her research? What are her interests other than commenting on non-black people who have made careers out of looking or sounding "black" in the ways that mainstream America defines "black?" Where is a photo that can be added? Perhaps the one from her Northwestern University page?

Bibliography

I have commenced a tidy-up of the Bibliography section:

Cite templates will be used where possible.
I prefer capitalization and punctuation to follow the standard cataloguing rules in AACR2 and RDA, rather than "title case".
Links (either direct or indirect) to potentially unreliable or incomplete digitised copies and to booksellers may be removed.

This is a work in progress; feel free to continue. Sunwin1960 (talk) 05:38, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

History repeats itself

In an article in The New Yorker 24 June 24 entitled The Right Side Now, Lauren Michelle Jackson states that 'History repeats itself' is a misquote of George Santayana's 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" whereas it of course the earlier quote of Karl Marx "History repeats itself, first in tragedy , second in farce" . A surprising mistake — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.77.126.117 (talk) 15:50, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
