RENOWNED FEMINIST HISTORIAN LOSES PROFESSORSHIP AS EXPERTS TEAR APART......

A black feminist historian whose work is being labeled as misleading — and who may have lost her cushy academic job — says it all comes down to an attack on black women.

The New York Times tells the tale of Kerri Greenidge, whose 2022 book “The Grimkes” was hailed for its narrative about a slaveholding family and its work in the abolitionist movement.

Publishers Weekly put the book on its list of that year’s top books, while the American Historical Association handed Greenidge the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize, which honors scholars in women’s history and feminist theory.

But the glow has dimmed as the furor over her flimsy factual foundation is being linked to the end of her gig as a tenured associate professor in the Department of Studies in Race, Colonialism, and Diaspora at Tufts University — and the loss of a book deal. More at Renowned Feminist Historian Loses Professorship as Experts Tear Apart Her So-Called Historical Findings

AND TUFT SAYS:

Greenidge denied fabricating or plagiarizing material, acknowledged that some citations may have been misattributed, and argued that the criticism and review process were racially motivated. The university rejected allegations of bias and stated that its review had been "fair, fact-based, thorough, and objective". Greenidge is no longer employed by Tufts, and her publisher, W. W. Norton & Company, removed The Grimkes from its website. Concerns were also raised by historian Stephen Fox regarding Greenidge's 2019 book Black Radical. [11]
