The purpose of this site is to host posts from students in the Fall 2022 Honors Colloquium “Race Traitors” at Abilene Christian University. Students are reading original journal issues from Race Traitor, a journal dedicated to the abolition of whiteness that appeared from 1993 to 2005. The journal was edited by Noel Ignatiev and John Garvey with the motto “Treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity”.
Students have read, thought through, and updated articles from the journal for a contemporary ACU undergraduate audience. Our aim is to credit the authors of each article so as to avoid the appearance of plagiarism as students update the pieces they have selected.
