As the European Union seemingly teetered from a financial crisis to
an immigration crisis around 2015 and onwards, discourses of race
appeared to congeal in various member states. In some instances,
these came with familiarly essentialist constructions; in others
these were refracted cautiously through concerns about security,
national and cultural integrity, distribution of public resources
and employment, and so on. New political alignments surfaced on the
back of such concerns, and established organizations changed their
agendas accordingly. The border regimes of EU member states became
increasingly fraught, both in terms of their everyday operations
and in terms of the close attention and vociferous debates they
attracted. In most instances, the internal and external borders of
the EU hardened, and with increasing frequency the cohesion of the
transnational union seemed on the verge of fracturing. Indeed, very
real fissures opened up with secessionist moves and referendums.
Through each step in this juncture of upheavals, the significance
of race has been reiterated in tangential ways and sometimes with
unabashed straightforwardness. This volume explores this juncture
around 2015, and the constructions of race and of crisis therein,
for specific contexts and from a range of disciplinary
perspectives. The introduction gives an overview of the juncture,
focusing on the rise of Eurosceptic nationalist political parties
and their electoral success. Subsequent chapters are addressed to
the management and representation of immigrants crossing the
Mediterranean, border regimes in the Czech Republic, the narratives
that converged on Brexit, riots in England, antagonistic popular
movements in Sweden, racialization in crisis management in Italy,
perceptions of migrants in Greece, and how race may be structured
in and challenged through classroom pedagogy. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and Racial
Studies.
