Corned Beef, Cabbage, and Reuben on Rye: Critical Family Histories and the “Both/And” of Whiteness in the United States

• In Event: Critical Historical Inquiry: Personal, Pedagogical, and Methodological Explorations

Abstract

Engaging critical family history, this paper reflects the efforts of two scholars who seek ways to more deeply understand their own racial, religious, and cultural genealogies. This effort is rooted in their commitments to support anti-racist and anti-colonial practices in- and outside of social studies education.
