Dear Colleagues,
I am still having problems accessing this blog on a routine basis. This explains the last three posts all published closely together, and then nothing 'til this weekend. I am thinking of shifting over to a more stable platform like WordPress.
For now though, here is introduction to an abstract that I have submitted to an online conference planned for June/May by the journal Ephemera. More details are here: http://www.ephemerajournal.org/events/activist-organizing-and-organizing-activism-post-pandemic-world-making
This paper proposes an activist scholar’s account of the changing, divergent nature of institutional racism across the UK from January 2020.
It pinpoints the important dimensions
of resistance, encompassing direct and indirect forms involving workers and
civil society, whilst acknowledging strong oppositional forces spanning a
spectrum of resurgent Neo Nazi movements and volatile reactionary forces in
government.
Importantly also, from the perspective of movement theory and
practice this is an account of how anti-racist movements shift their gaze and
appreciation of the fabric of modern-day institutional racism, and its location
in the historical and global context of capitalist political economy.
I will confirm if my paper is accepted, and share the full, final version here.
In Solidarity
Ian
