L'émergence d'une politique des identités blanche
Il y a dix ans à peine, les débats sur l'« identité blanche » se limitaient à des franges politiques très circonscrites. Aujourd'hui, elle est devenue une question politique importante des deux côtés de l'Atlantique. Or, on s'est peu intéressé à la nature de l'identité blanche elle-même et à ses racines historiques. La politique des identités est généralement considérée comme une politique de gauche, et l'identité blanche comme un nouveau venu su…
How Might We Live? Global Ethics in the New Century
This volume looks outward to the twenty-first century and to the dynamics of this first truly global age. It asks the fundamental question: how might human societies live? In contrast to the orthodoxies of academic Philosophy and International Relations in much of the twentieth century, which marginalised or rejected the study of ethics, the contributors here believe that there is nothing more political than ethics, and therefore deserving of sch…

In a battle over bones, scientists and museums are losing out to the Guardians of indigenous culture
Making a difference
The concept of multiculturalism embodies both a description of a society and a prescription for managing that society. The multiculturalist description of society is a distorted one. Western societies, in particular, are not as diverse as multiculturalists often suggest. The multiculturalist prescription for society creates the very problems it is meant to solve. The notions of culture, identity and authenticity embodied in multicultural policies…
Universalism and difference in discourses of race
A few weeks after the riot that shook Los Angeles in May 1992, I gave a lecture on racism in America to a group of students at a north London college. The audience was largely young and black. In the discussion that followed, there was a lively debate over my view that the fragmentation of American society into competing ethnic groups—African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, Korean-Americans, and so on—was a fatal blow to the struggle for black rig…
The Social Limits to Equality
On 28 July 1993 three officers from Britain’s Aliens Deportation Group (ADG) arrived at the north London flat of Joy Gardner to deport her. Gardner had been born in Jamaica, but had come to Britain six years earlier. Her mother, Myrna Simpson, had lived in Britain for more than 33 years. Her half-brother, three uncles, and two aunts also lived in Britain. She was married to a British citizen and her son, Graeme, was born in Britain. Under Britain…
Cultural Wars
In 1975 Stanford University in California decided to rehabilitate its course on ‘Western Civilisation’ which had been abolished in 1970. By 1978 a two-year pilot programme had been approved and in 1980 a new, year-long, required course began for all incoming students. The core reading list for the course included what were considered to be the basic ‘Great Books’ of the Western tradition — the Bible, Plato and Homer, Augustine’s Confessions , Dan…
Beyond the Liberal Hour
So wrote commentator Geoff Mulgan in November 1991, exactly two years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Back in November 1989, the television pictures of young East Berliners atop the Wall with pickaxes, hacking away at the tyranny that had imprisoned them for thirty years, seemed to capture the new spirit of freedom spreading through Europe. After a century during which the continent had been first ravaged by two world wars and then torn apart …
Race in the Age of Democracy
Scientific racism presents us with a paradox. It provided the justification for some of the most barbarous acts committed by humankind. Read by a generation which knows of the horrors of Auschwitz, Robert Knox’s assessment of ‘the dark races’ still chills the heart: What signify these dark races to us? Who cares particularly for the Negro, or the Hottentot or the Kaffir? These latter have proved a very troublesome race, and the sooner they are pu…
Race, Culture and Nationhood
In a report on the 1993 conference of the International Air Transport Association, the aviation magazine Flight International quoted accident statistics for 1959–93. These showed that the number of crashes per million airline departures caused by the aircraft’s crew varied widely across the world. Drawing on the work of behavioural scientist Geert Hofstede, the magazine linked such variations to national cultural differences.
The Making of a Discourse of Race
‘I discern two sorts of inequality in the human species’, wrote Rousseau in his Discourse on Inequality . The first was ‘natural or physical’ which pertained to biological differences between individuals — ‘differences in age, health, strength of body and qualities of the mind and soul’. The second type of inequality was that between social groups. This, Rousseau argued, was ‘moral or political inequality’ which was ‘established, or at least auth…
Equality and Emancipation
One of the more notable film releases of the nineties has been Schindler’s List , Stephen Spielberg’s magisterial account of the emergence of hope from inhumanity in the Second World War. The film, based on Thomas Keneally’s Booker prize winning novel Schindler’s Ark , tells the story of German businessman Oskar Schindler ‘s attempt to save the lives of the Jewish workers in his forced-labour factory in Poland during the closing years of the war.…
From Biological Hierarchy to Cultural Diversity
A white South African, sitting down to breakfast at the end of the 1980s, might have come across an ‘educational’ comic strip entitled ‘Did You Know?’ on the back of his or her cornflakes packet which explained to a white audience the peculiarities of black behaviour. ‘Kelloggs believe that “to know more is to understand more” — especially when it comes to other languages, cultures and customs’, ran the explanatory tag. ‘Hence the “Did you know?”…

Multiculturalism and its Discontents
Our contemporary celebration of difference, respect for pluralism, and avowal of identity politics have come to be regarded as the hallmarks of a progressive, modern democracy. Yet despite embracing many of its values, we have at the same time become wary of multiculturalism in recent years. In the wake of September 11 and the many terrorist attacks that have occurred since then, there has been much debate about the degree of diversity that Weste…
From Fatwa to Jihad
On the eve of the 20th anniversary of the Rushdie fatwa, From Fatwa to Jihad tells, for the first time, the full story of this defining episode and explores its repercussions and resonance through to contemporary debates about Islam, terror, free speech and Western values. When a thousand Muslim protesters paraded through a British town with a copy of Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses before ceremoniously burning the book it was an act motivate…
The meaning of race
Today, race seems to be both everywhere and nowhere. There still exists a general abhorrence about discriminating between people according to their race. And yet, people are continually categorized according to their race--Afro- Caribbean, white, Jewish--though we often have difficulty in defining just what race is. Everything from criminality to the entrepreneurial spirit is given a racial connotation--witness stereotypes of black muggers or Asi…
