'Rigorous, impassioned and urgent' - Ash Sarkar We are in a moment
of profound overlapping crises. The landscape of politics and
entitlement is being rapidly remade. As movements against colonial
legacies and state violence coincide with the rise of authoritarian
regimes, it is the lens of racism, and the politics of race, that
offers the sharpest focus. In Empire's Endgame, eight leading
scholars make a powerful intervention in debates around racial
capitalism and political crisis in Britain. While the 'hostile
environment' policy and Brexit referendum have thrown the
centrality of race into sharp relief, discussions of racism have
too often focused on individual behaviours. Foregrounding instead
the wider political and economic context, the authors trace the
ways in which the legacies of empire have been reshaped by global
capitalism, the digital environment and the instability of the
nation-state. Engaging with movements such as Black Lives Matter
and Rhodes Must Fall, Empire's Endgame offers both an original
perspective on race, media, the state and criminalisation, and a
political vision that includes rather than expels in the face of
crisis.

Borders harm all of us: they must be abolished. Borders divide
workers and families, fuel racial division, and reinforce global
disparities. They encourage the expansion of technologies of
surveillance and control, which impact migrants and citizens both.
Bradley and de Noronha tell what should by now be a simple truth:
borders are not only at the edges of national territory, in
airports, or at border walls. Borders are everyday and everywhere;
they follow people around and get between us, and disrupt our
collective safety, freedom and flourishing. is a passionate
manifesto for border abolition, arguing that we must transform
society and our relationships to one another, and build a world in
which everyone has the freedom to move and to stay.
In the last two decades, the UK has deported thousands of people to
Jamaica. Many of these 'deportees' left the Caribbean as infants
and grew up in the UK. Deporting Black Britons traces the life
stories of four such men who have been exiled from their parents,
partners, children and friends by deportation. It explores how
'Black Britons' survive once they are returned to Jamaica, and
questions what their memories of poverty, racist policing and
illegality reveal about contemporary Britain. Based on years of
research with deported people and their families, Deporting Black
Britons presents stories of survival and hardship in both the UK
and Jamaica. These intimate portraits testify to the damage wrought
by violent borders, opening up wider questions about racism,
belonging and deservingness in anti-immigrant times. -- .
