The New Racial Regime
The New Racial Regime
Laundering Black Rage
Australian racial capitalism, Indigenous exploitation and the racial regime of recognition and reconciliation
"Beyond "platitudes of support or denouncement
As Charisse Burden-Stelly has repeated, following Antonio Gramsci, “now is the time of monsters.” Antiracism is beleaguered, flailing between attacks on its legitimacy and co-optations by the institutions of colonial, racial states. At this time, as John Solomos argues in his important new book, Antiracism: A Critique, it is more important than ever to take antiracism seriously as an object of study. Making interventions with the capacity to moun…
Breaking the racial silence
Race structures the lives of Indigenous peoples and other negatively racialized people in Australia. The language of race permeates institutions, workplaces, and is embedded in everyday life. Racial literacy as pedagogical praxis resists the racial contract that secures whiteness as a structure of possessive power. We explore the state of racial literacy in Australian education, and the obstructions and opportunities for educators to do anti-raci…
La guerre contre la Critical Race Theory en Australie passe à côté de l'essentiel
Antisemitism
I read Brendan McGeever’s Antisemitism and the Russian Revolution against the backdrop of my own family history and my ambivalent relationship to “identity”. The fierce commitment of Jewish activists of the Russian Revolution both to its aims and to the struggle to end antisemitism points to the significance of experience over simplified understandings of identity. We do not struggle against racism because of a reified idea about who we are, but …
No room for neutrality
I respond to the generative engagements with my book, Why Race Still Matters, by four incisive thinkers, and consider their meaning for the topics of whiteness, race(ism)s, identity politics, and antiracism
Eurowhite Conceit,” “Dirty White” Ressentiment
This essay is written in response to Böröcz’s (2021) essay on race in Europe
Beyond convergence and divergence
Although the study of race in relation to both settler colonialism, and Indigeneity and Indigenous sovereignty is insufficiently supported by sociology and the social sciences in Australia as elsewhere, scholars are exploring the synergetic possibilities between critical race and decolonial, Indigenous-centred approaches to theorizing the racial state. Nevertheless, some scholars have argued that the critical race toolbox is insufficient for maki…
Islamophobia, race and the attack on antiracism
In our work together, going back to the mid-2000s, we have always felt that it was impossible to engage fully with the ever circulating, scavenger nature of race and racism from the narrow Anglo-American vantage point that often predominates and orients public and scholarly discussions. Especially, when attempting to think with and against race in Europe and to excavate the attempts to ‘bury it alive’ we always attempted to seek out the parallels…
Looking as white
Smartphone apps for anti-racism education and intervention are being developed by organisations in various countries. The ubiquity of smartphone use and app methodology, as Grant argues, have the potential to disrupt racial knowledges and facilitate anti-racist action. I use Nicholas Mirzoeff’s ‘zones of appearance and non-appearance’ and Derek Hook’s discussion of ‘racialising embodiment’ to discuss the potential of one such app, Everyday Racism…
Charlie Hebdo
The call for a parsing of the French context that accompanied the aftermath of the attacks on the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo mobilized what Barnor Hesse calls a “white analytics.” Such a partial vision of France as “exceptional” in matters of race denies the significance of “black analytics” for a full understanding of the context leading up to the Charlie Hebdo “event.” “White analytics” permits the universalization of racism and th…
Beyond denial
While the idea that racism is accompanied by its denial is well established, this paper examines the widespread explicit advocacy of a stance of ‘not racism’. The rejection of racism by proponents of positions that hinder the cause of racial justice is the discursive next step in ‘postracial’ racism. I examine the various ways in which racism has been proposed to be an ‘unhelpful’ framework. I make the case that the dominant position within philo…

Antiracism apps
Mobile apps for antiracism have become valuable pedagogical and activist tools for their real-time and mapping capabilities, their portability and intimate bodily presence, which enables a reaction exactly when an act of racism occurs. In this article, five mobile apps aimed at producing antiracism education or intervention outcomes from the United Kingdom, Australia and France are the focus of an interrogation of the ways in which racism and ant…
Eliminating race obscures its trace
Focusing on the chapters by Brett St Louis, Michael Banton, Matthew Hughey, and David Goldberg, I explore the contribution of Murji and Solomos' volume, Theories of Race and Ethnicity, to ongoing debates on the meaning of the post-racial. I draw on Goldberg's interactive relationality as a means for thinking about the continued significance of race both for scholarship on its material effects and for developing practices of anti-racism
Racism in public or public racism
The paper examines racism's 'debatability' by looking at the interpellation of public acts of racism. The idea of racism as an event appears crucial to the judgment of its legitimacy. By examining racism as a disjointed series of public events that are often accompanied by elisions of the connections between racist 'eruptions' and systemic conditions, I shine light on what is meant by racism today. Racism can be theorized dually as both frozen an…
What does race do
In writing on 'John Rex's Main Mistake', Michael Banton reveals more about Banton than he does about Rex. I use Banton's discussion of the differences between his own and John Rex's 'mistakes' to explore why, in my view, race continues to have analytical purchase in a purportedly 'post-racial' age
Post-race, post politics
Declarations of the end of race ignore the continuing impact of racism upon socio-economic inequality in 'racial states'. Nevertheless, the idea of post-racialism has gained ground in a post-9/11 era, defined by a growing suspicion of diversity. Clearly racialized, this suspicion is couched in cultural-civilizational terms that attempt to avoid the charge of racism. Hence, attempts to counteract the purported failure of multiculturalism in Europe…
The crisis of ‘multiculturalism’ in Europe
During the last decade, European countries have declared a ‘crisis’ of multiculturalism. This crisis has gained significant political traction, despite the empirical absence of a failed experiment with multiculturalism. This introduction focuses on the narrative of multicultural backlash, which purports that ‘parallel societies’ and ‘intolerable subjects’ and practices have been allowed to flourish within European societies. Beyond particular con…
The Crises of Multiculturalism
Across the West, something called multiculturalism is in crisis. Regarded as the failed experiment of liberal elites, commentators and politicians compete to denounce its corrosive legacies; parallel communities threatening social cohesion, enemies within cultivated by irresponsible cultural relativism, mediaeval practices subverting national ‘ways of life’ and universal values. This important new book challenges this familiar narrative of the ri…
What Happens to Anti-Racism When We Are Post Race
After anti-racism
Anti-racism as a political discourse and a form of collective social action has long been ignored as a serious field of research. In contrast, I envision the study of anti-racism as a vital lens on both 'race' and racism. First, the heterogeneity of anti-racism is demonstrated, spanning both pro- and anti-state-based analyses of the origins of racism. Second, a parallel discourse of 'anti-anti-racism' within the radical Left reveals the reluctanc…
Europe and the Silence about Race
This article argues that, despite the efforts to expunge race from the European political sphere, racism continues to define the sociality of Europe. The post-war drive to replace race with other signifiers, such as culture or ethnicity, has done little to overcome the effects of the race idea, one less based on naturalist conceptions of hierarchical humanity, and more on fundamental conceptions of Europeanness and non-Europeanness. The silence a…

Replacing 'race', historicizing 'culture' in multiculturalism
Lentin sets out to unravel the history of the discourse of culturalism in the post-Second World War period. Culture is now almost universally used to categorize distinct human groups and to refer to the differences between them. As the liberal acceptance of multiculturalism as a recipe for contemporary living affirms, the use of culture as a viable conceptualization of human difference often goes unchallenged in present-day scholarship. Lentin fo…

Racial States, Anti-Racist Responses
This article seeks to re-examine two major assumptions in mainstream anti-racist thought of the post-war era. These are culturalism, on the one hand, and human rights on the other, both of which have been offered as potential solutions to the ongoing problem of racism. I argue that both fail to cope with racism as it has been institutionalized in the political and social structures of European societies because they inaccurately theorize ‘race’. …

Race', Racism and Anti-racism
This argues for the revisiting of classificatory concepts currently in use in the study of 'race', racism and anti-racism. It examines the proposition that racist movements no longer promote discrimination on the grounds of a belief in biological differences but espouse a 'differentialist' racism based on a conviction in the fixity of culture, paradoxically 'borrowed' from culturally relativist anti-racist arguments. A critique of the differentia…

Structure, Strategy, Sustainability
The theoretical domain developed for the study of New Social Movements (NSMs) in the early 1980s has recently been largely abandoned by its main advocates. Increasingly, the cross-class, 'post-materialist' movements of the 1970s and 1980s, typified by the issues of environment, peace and feminism, cease to pose a radical challenge to contemporary western politics. This paper revisits the theoretical work of three of the European voices central to…

AbstractLe prince Shcherbatov ( 1733-1790), dont les oeuvres diverses, peu connues avant la fin du 19e siècle, ont récemment subi des recherches sérieuses, se révèle de plus en plus comme une critique importante de l’absolutisme de Catherine II. Dans ses Pensées sur la peine de mort (Razmyshleniia o smertnoi kazni, 1788), essai auparavant très peu connu, Shcherbatov se montre comme un observateur critique des idées réformatrices de Beccaria et de…
