Although race is a familiar, everyday topic in the US, that is hardly the case everywhere. In Italy, sociologists Ann Morning (NYU) and Marcello Maneri (University of Milan-Bicocca) found, just the mention of it regularly elicited the reaction, “Che brutta parola! What an ugly word!” This panel explores the findings from their new book, An Ugly Word, which compares discourse and beliefs about difference in Italy and the US, and proposes a new framework for studying concepts of difference across national borders.
