English Folk Tradition and the Choice of Ancestors
Whose Cosmopolitanism?
The term cosmopolitan is increasingly used within different social, cultural and political settings, including academia, popular media and national politics. However those who invoke the cosmopolitan project rarely ask whose experience, understanding, or vision of cosmopolitanism is being described and for whose purposes? In response, this volume assembles contributors from different disciplines and theoretical backgrounds to examine cosmopolitan…
More Posthuman Glossary
The notion of the posthuman continues to both intrigue and confuse, not least because of the huge number of ideas, theories and figures associated with this term. More Posthuman Glossary provides a way in to the dizzying array of posthuman concepts, providing vivid accounts of emerging terms. It is much more than a series of definitions, however, in that it seeks to imagine and predict what new terms might come into being as this exciting field c…
Vibrant Death
Vibrant Death links philosophy and poetry-based, corpo-affectively grounded knowledge seeking. It offers a radically new materialist theory of death, critically moving the philosophical argument beyond Christian and secular-mechanistic understandings. The book’s ethico-political figuration of vibrant death is shaped through a pluriversal conversation between Deleuzean philosophy, neo-vitalist materialism and the spiritual materialism of decolonia…
On Bell and Gloria
On Bell and Gloria Paul Gilroy (bio) bell hooks has already been widely, rightly, and righteously lamented as our Hipparchia, our Beauvoir, and so much more. I have no doubt that process will continue as her extraordinary work finds new publics and makes new readerships across the planet. bell's world-changing contribution will ensure that mourning and affirming her will continue when and wherever love, critique, [End Page 29] and the pursuit of …
Working with “Wogs”
This article uses a discussion of the currency of the word “wog” in Britain to identify a pivotal, racialized position used to contain alien incomers so as to exclude them from belonging to the national community. The argument invites readers to focus on the affective energy specifically endowed in contemporary European “populist” politics by race-talk and the anti-Muslim rhetoric which share common roots in absolutist conceptions of culture and …

Selected Writings on Race and Difference
The biography of Stuart Hall is well known.It need not be rehearsed again here.His valuable writings have circulated around the world over a very long period of time, drawing responses from all directions and disciplines.The work has been reexamined in detail since his death by readers eager to learn from him and to absorb his many insights into the complexities of our pre sent crisis.Yet I have occasionally overheard very sophisticated academics…
The possibility of a creolised planet
In this interview Paul Gilroy talks to Femi Oriogun-Williams about his love of folk music of all kinds. He discusses its songs of expropriation, suffering, soldiering, impressment and migration; its relationship to the countryside - often a dangerous and menacing place - and to Englishness, including English nationalism; and the role of Black performers inside the world of folk, including Nadia Cattouse, Dorris Henderson, and Dav(e)y Graham. He a…
Selected Writings on Race and Difference
The Dialectics of Diaspora Identification
This chapter begins by asking to consider how resistance itself is to be understood. It looks specifically at the positions of the nation-state, and the idea of nationality in accounts of black resistance and black culture, particularly music. The chapter utilizes a brief discussion of black music to ask implicit questions about the tendencies towards ethnocentrism and ethnic absolutism of black cultural theory. The critical political project for…
Driving While Black
This chapter argues that the car’s power can be used to illuminate some neglected aspects of the twentieth century’s black freedom struggles. The twentieth century was the century of the automobile, of auto-mobility and mass motorization. Commerce in motor vehicles constitutes the overheated core of unchecked and unsustainable consumer capitalism, but the impact of car culture extends far beyond those buoyant commercial processes. The determinedl…
Postcolonial Melancholia
The resurgent imperial power of the United States has made multiculturalism an aspect of the clash of integral and incompatible civilizations, diereby transmitting an additional negative energy into this delicate postcolonial process. Of course, the briefest look around confirms that multicultural society has not actually expired. Rather than lament the end of the various initiatives that have discredited the wholesome dream of multicultural soci…
Keywords and conflict, then and now
This wonderful compendium makes a major intervention in English Studies and in the teaching of both criticism and critique.Its revival and amendment of the Keywords project has been brought to fruition artfully by Colin MacCabe and his various colleagues and collaborators.What I want to say in appreciation of it departs from a particular set of linked concerns which, when combined, amount to the transformation of our political culture and communi…
A diagnosis of contemporary forms of racism, race and nationalism
Described as one of the most intellectually formidable cultural and social theorists of our time, Paul Gilroy has reshaped debates on racism, nationalism and multiculturalism. In April 2018, Prof. Paul Gilroy returned to Norway for the first time in over a decade for a series of public and academic events in Oslo and Bergen. Gilroy appeared at events held at the Houses of Literature in Oslo and Bergen, and the Universities of Oslo and Bergen, whi…
Agonistic Belonging
This paper considers aspects of the rise of neo-fascist political sentiment across Europe. It suggests that an appropriate political response to those developments must involve a reconsideration of the politics of sympathy which is seen as essential in the formation of solidarity
Rhythm in the Force of Forces”
This essay is addressed to discrepancies between musical and political time. It uses the death of Hugh Masekela to consider the changing pattern of intergenerational relationships and the place of music within local and transnational freedom movements. The impact of technological change on the mediation of political solidarity is then examined through two principal examples: the elaboration of generic racial identity and the weaponization of cult…
Civilizacionismo, a "alt-right" e o futuro da política antirracista
Este artigo examina a ascensão da "alt-right" e seu impacto na política antirracista, particularmente na Grã-Bretanha. Gilroy argumenta que a tecnologia digital transformou o fascismo e o racismo, criando uma poderosa estrutura de comunicação política baseada na manipulação de algoritmos e na disseminação de notícias falsas. Essa nova forma de mobilização política online desafia os movimentos de esquerda e exige novas estratégias de resistência. …
Uncut Funk
In an awesome meeting of minds, cultural theorists Stuart Hall and bell hooks met for a series of wide-ranging conversations on what Hall sums up as "life, love, death, sex." From the trivial to the profound, across boundaries of age, sexualities and genders, hooks and Hall dissect topics and themes of continual contemporary relevance, including feminism, home and homecoming, class, black masculinity, family, politics, relationships, and teaching…

Darker than Blue
Paul Gilroy seeks to awaken a new understanding of W. E. B. Du Bois’ intellectual and political legacy. At a time of economic crisis, environmental degradation, ongoing warfare, and heated debate over human rights, how should we reassess the changing place of black culture? Gilroy considers the ways that consumerism has diverted African Americans’ political and social aspirations. Luxury goods and branded items, especially the automobile—rich in …

Race ends here
How do we see 'race' and the symbols of racial difference? Is contemporary theorizing about race complicit in the reification of racial difference? These are the key questions that are addressed in this article, which uses them as the starting point for dealing with important theoretical and political dilemmas about race in the present environment. In particular, it seeks to explore some of the substantive problems that people conceptualize and a…
My Britain is fuck all' zombie multiculturalism and the race politics of citizenship
This paper uses the 2011 viral video “My Tram Experience” as a prism through which to consider aspects of the contemporary politics of race and racism, immigration and misoxeny in Britain. The release and popularity of that clip is seen in the context of the second trial of the murders of Stephen Lawrence and in relation to technological changes and the emergence of virtual and immaterial racism on social media sites like Twitter and Facebook

The basic labors of archaeological reconstruction and periodization aside, working on the contemporary forms of black expressive culture involves struggling with one problem in particular, and that is the puzzle of what analytic status should be given to variation within black communities and between black cultures. The tensions produced by attempts to compare or evaluate differing black cultural formations can be summed up in the following quest…
Where every breeze speaks of courage and liberty
The 2015 Antipode RGS‐IBG Lecture was delivered by Prof. Paul Gilroy on 2 September at the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) Annual International Conference. Prof. Gilroy's lecture interrogates the contemporary attractions of post‐humanism and asks questions about what a “reparative humanism” might alternatively entail. He uses a brief engagement with the conference theme—“geographies of the Anthropocene”—to f…

Multiculture, double consciousness and the ‘war on terror’
Gilroy explores the recent assertion that multiculturalism has failed and situates that pronouncement in the different historical and political settings provided by contemporary Britain and the United States. The positions on this problem that have been articulated on the two sides of the North Atlantic are contrasted. He then argues that the inability to process the loss of Britain's empire and the shame that has attended the exposure of Britain…
The end of anti-racism∗
The last decade has witnessed the rise of ideologies of self‐help and independence which have made many anti‐racist initiatives in local government and elsewhere appear patronising and irrelevant. The article argues that there is more to the emancipation of blacks than opposition to racism, particularly when racism is itself viewed as separable from wider political processes. These have come to include the emergence of an integrated Europe. Anti‐…
Planetarity and cosmopolitics
This comment responds to the articles assembled by Beck and Grande (BJS 2010). It argues that their important approach has been extended in novel directions by these contributions and that the goal represented by a cosmopolitan sociology is pending in the expansion of the dialogue these pieces initiate
Where Ignorant Armies Clash by Night
In explicit opposition to any explanatory discourse that invokes a `clash of civilisations', this article suggests that the history of Europe's colonial adventures provides a number of worthwhile clues as to the legal and military basis of the emergent new world order
And 2011
This piece contrasts two periods of rioting in Britain that were thirty years apart. It asks how the 2011 riots might be "read" as expressing aspects of the country's neoliberal transformation
A New Cosmopolitanism
South Africa's overthrow of institutionalized racism and its attempt to build a diverse democracy ought to speak more loudly than it currently does in world-historical debates. This, at a time when political interventions are promoted and justified, using the language of cosmopolitanism and democratic humanitarianism, on the grounds that ailing or incompetent national states have failed to measure up to the levels of good practice that merit reco…

Fanon and Améry
This article examines the different ways in which torture can be seen to have shaped the political and theoretical outlook of Frantz Fanon and that of his enthusiastic reader, the former Auschwitz prisoner Jean Améry. Building on the latter's suggestion that torture was the essence of the Third Reich, the reader is asked to apply that insight to an unconventional interpretation of the routinization of torture in contemporary statecraft
Paul Gilroy
This short piece invites reconsideration of the impact of modern raciology on the formation of the academic humanities. In the light of that all too easily forgoten connection, it asks what place the memory of the Nazi period should now enjoy in contemporary scholarly work oriented by its opposition to fraternalist and populist ultra-nationalism. The memory of the Third Reich can be recovered in a number of different ways not all of which are ali…

A response
Professor Sampson's paper offers a valuable snapshot of the professional sociologist's craft. His methodological innovations will prove influential and his focus on durable inequality and the social ranking of places is instructive even if those dynamics are gravely complicated – as they are in contemporary London – by increasing inequality, the after-effects of the privatization and adjustments in the inflated market for dwelling space. Sampson'…

Between Afro-centrism and Euro centrism
Small acts
Small Acts charts the emergence of a distinctive cultural sensibility that accomplishes the difficult task of being simultaneously both black and English. Straddling the field of popular cultural forms, Paul Gilroy shows how the African diaspora born from slavery has given rise to a web of intimate social relationships in which African-American, Caribbean and now black English elements combine. Discussions of Spike Lee and Frank Bruno, record sle…

To the forces of cultural nationalism trapped in their respective camps, this bold book sounds like a liberating call. There is, Paul Gilroy tells us, a culture that is not specifically African, American, Caribbean, or British, but all of these at once; a black Atlantic culture w…
