Maps and Diaspora
Following discussions, interactions and reflections during the 2024 Royal Geographical Society (with IBG) conference ‘Map Room Conversations’ sessions, this paper examines archival maps in relation to diaspora through an affective lens. Using an auto‐ethnographic epistolary praxis of letter‐writing and the therapeutic prompt ‘What came up for you?’, it aims to bring out marginalised narratives and enable diasporic subjects to reclaim agency over …
The post-racial myth
As the world recovers from the pandemic and anti-Asian hate crimes have been gradually disappearing from the headlines, this article offers a timely reflection on Chinese international students’ experiences and perceptions of racialised microaggressions during the pandemic, and, more importantly, takes the discussion further by deconstructing and challenging the underlying post-racial discourse. Based on 54 interviews with Chinese students from 1…
Racializing space, spatializing 'race
Copyright (c) The Authors 2023. The neoliberal transformation of Delhi into a "world class city" has increasingly attracted migrants from India's North-Eastern/Himalayan borderlands, who are racialized as "Northeasterns" and face racism in the city. This reflects an emergent form of racialization in the Global South and a facet of "new racism" often overlooked within existing theorizations of "race" and racism that stems from Global North context…

The academy in Britain has witnessed the rise of a “decolonial turn”, which ironically is set against the backdrop of persistent racial disparities amongst staff and students within higher education. Taking the cases of the disciplines of history and geography and drawing from qualitative interviews and focus groups among students and academics in these disciplines, this paper examines “decolonising” as– (a) a “new” language being articulated by …

Contemporary India has witnessed a rise in racism discourse, central to which are people from North-East and Himalayan regions, collectively referred to as ‘Northeasterns’. This has recentred ‘race’ and racism as being a theoretical-political problem of contemporary India itself. However, existing literature shows that there is stark under-theorisation of ‘race’ and racism in Indian context. Drawing from ethnographic research and applying the rac…
