Scholarly citation conventions can be replaced by conversational allusion

Evidence

This is a text, accordingly, free of footnotes or explicitly referenced intra-textual citations. Which is different than saying there are no references, or better yet reference points, allusions, conversational interjections. The book is conceived in conversation, with many texts, multiple voices, various expressions of opinion. A bibliography of works consulted, conspired with or against, critically taken up or cast aside, follows each chapter. Where I suggest in passing within the flow of a chapter’s argument that so-and-so says such-and-such the general reference will be included in the chapter’s bibliography. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 30
