Return of the repressed
The legitimacy of neoliberalism is fading. But neoliberalism has not died; it has adapted and taken on new forms well-suited to the present crisis. While many analysts argue that racial nationalism has eclipsed the politics of neoliberalism in the West, a more accurate account would be that neoliberalism’s disavowed racial past has returned to shape the present. By offering a compelling and sweeping historical analysis of neoliberalism’s essentia…
Can universities be antiracist
If universities are committed to intellectual liberation, must they also be committed to liberation from racial oppression? And if they are to be antiracist institutions, to what kind of antiracism must they adhere? Beginning with a reflection on the multiple histories of racism and antiracism at the Vught camp and prison in the Netherlands, and surveying the work of scholars such as Anton de Kom and Frantz Fanon, this article explores the obliga…
Antiracism in dark times
Dialectics of Tradition and Modernity in the Architectural Landscape of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
This research explores the role of religious moderation centers in Perguruan Tinggi Keagamaan Islam Negeri (PTKIN), focusing on the integration between faith and history to be applied to PTKIN students. The context of this research reflects a deep need to understand how the Religious Moderation Center contributes crucially to achieving harmony in the Islamic academic environment. The research questions are directed at two main aspects of the disc…
The racial constitution of neoliberalism
Prevailing scholarship on neoliberalism fails to recognise that it generates its own distinctive forms of racial domination. Influential analysts such as Wolfgang Streeck, David Harvey and Wendy Brown assume or argue that racism exists today because neoliberalism’s defeat of racial legacies is incomplete. This ignores how racism is reconfigured in ways that are specific to the historical moment of neoliberalism and dependent on a distinctive and …
Incarcerating the Crisis
Race and America's Long War
Crypto and empire
Since Edward Snowden’s revelations of US and UK surveillance programs, privacy advocates, progressive security engineers, and policy makers have been seeking to win majority support for countering surveillance. The problem is framed as the replacement of targeted surveillance with mass surveillance programs, and the solutions put forward are predominantly technical and involve the use of encryption – or ‘crypto’ – as a defense mechanism. The coun…

Multiculturalism and its discontents
Attacks on multiculturalism from across the political spectrum reduce the complex history of settlement and interaction in the UK to a simple narrative of excessive British tolerance and increasingly disruptive immigrant communities. The liberal version of this ‘integrationist’ discourse emphasizes the Enlightenment values associated with secularism, individualism, gender equality, sexual freedom and freedom of expression as markers of civilizati…
Radicalisation
Since 2004, the term 'radicalisation' has become central to terrorism studies and counter-terrorism policy-making. As US and European governments have focused on stemming 'home-grown' Islamist political violence, the concept of radicalisation has become the master signifier of the late 'war on terror' and provided a new lens through which to view Muslim minorities. The introduction of policies designed to 'counter-radicalise' has been accompanied…
The Crises of Multiculturalism
Islamism and the roots of liberal rage
As the neoconservative idea of a clash of civilisations is increasingly challenged, a number of liberal writers - Paul Berman, Nick Cohen, Martin Amis, Andrew Anthony, Bernard Henry-Lévy and Christopher Hitchens - are rethinking the `war on terror' as a cold war against Islamism, defined as a totalitarian political movement analogous to fascism or Stalinism. Europe is the new front line in this battle for the `hearts and minds' of Muslims and, it…
Integrationism
It has long been the contention of those on the right of British politics that cultural diversity is a threat to national cohesion and security. However, cultural diversity has been attacked equally vigorously by liberals and by those on the centre left, especially since 2001. The new conventional wisdom is that a national story of Britishness must be promoted in order to bind the nation together around a set of core values, to which minorities m…
Wired for War
Through the influence of Project for the New American Century, the structure and thrust of US military power is being fundamentally reshaped, with massive increases in defence spending, the revival of 'Star Wars', the projected militarisation of space and constant technological innovation. The aim is 'full spectrum dominance' across the globe; one result is Iraq; another the widespread US public acceptance of pax Americana; yet another, the notio…
An Unholy Alliance? Racism, Religion and Communalism
The Death of Multiculturalism
Dans cet article, l'A. dennonce les dangers des nouvelles orientations du gouvernement britannique en matiere d'integration. L'A. souligne ici le fait que le multiculturalisme n'est pas une atteinte au droit britannique et s'inquiete du renforcement institutionnel de la segregation raciale
Commentary
From April to July 2001, the northern English towns of Oldham, Burnley and Bradford saw violent confrontations between young Asians and the police, culminating in the clashes of 7–9 July in Bradford in which 200 police officers were injured. The clashes were prompted by racist gangs attacking Asian communities and the failure of the police to provide protection from this threat. In the scale of the damage caused and the shock they delivered to th…
In a Foreign Land
Cet article fait part de la vulgarisation et de l'enracinement du racisme dans le sens commun britannique. En effet, l'A. explique a travers l'exemple de villes ou les refugies sont peu nombreux, comment les politiques de discrimination, de diabolisation des demandeurs d'asile sont percues par les gens. La legitimation dans une large mesure d'un comportement raciste de l'Etat est relaye au sein de la population par les medias, notamment les tablo…
Stumbling on
L'ideologie de la nouvelle droite thatcherienne relayee par la presse populaire anglaise et plus particulierement par le Sun defend un message politique qui denonce le pluralisme culturel, les dangers du metissage et qui promeut l'idee de «preference nationale». L'egalite apparait comme une vue demodee qui ne permet pas la prise en compte de la liberte individuelle. Le marche est percu non comme une source d'inegalites mais comme un systeme regul…
Where do you want to go today? The rise of information capital
The economic paradigms of the industrial age, on which the socialist analysis of capitalism has depended, are in the process of being replaced by new paradigms of the globalised, information age. Developments in information technology since the 1970s have made possible new forms of economic organisation in both manufacturing and also in the media industries which have undergone substantial changes in the last twenty years. The huge growth in the …
