In our interconnected world of increasing racial, ethnic, and
religious diversity, racism is an enduring phenomenon with a range
of pernicious consequences for individuals, communities, and
societies. Despite considerable scholarly attention to race and
racism, there has been relatively little focus on anti-racism,
defined as the theory and practice of addressing racism,
counteracting its detrimental effects, or envisaging its possible
alternatives. This edited collection explores the re-configuration
of anti-racism in order to better combat racism in modern
neo-liberal societies. Should anti-racism focus on tolerance,
harmony, inclusion, equality, participation, recognition
acknowledgement, indifference, and/or justice? What is the role of
everyday race labour, the potentials and pitfalls of
post-raciality, and the potential of alter-racism via humour,
viscerality, embodiment, and affective atmospheres? The eight
chapters forming this collection bring together scholars from
cultural studies, geography, philosophy, political science, race
relations, and sociology to debate key epistemologies, practices,
and contradictions pertaining to anti-racism as a global endeavour.
This book was originally published as a special issue of Ethnic and
Racial Studies.
