On the 11th annual AISSR Harvest Day on 21 November, organized by the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR), Francio Guadeloupe gave the keynote lecture on ‘Ethnography without ‘race’? A day in an ex-colony’. The Harvest Day is the AISSR’s landmark event where social scientists and relevant organizations come together to discuss the ‘harvest’ of their research.

‘Race’ is ubiquitous, so the argument goes, and producing ethnographies undone of this social fact is becoming academically unthinkable. Francio Guadeloupe demonstrated how he seeks to circumvent race while putting racism front and center in the study of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.
