Kenan Malik & Hans Kundnani: Racism and Anti-Racism
Sorry, this event has sold out
What does it mean to be anti-racist in contemporary times? Is racism largely a function of whiteness, and can anti-racism build itself around multiculturalism, cosmopolitanism and identity politics? How can a historical perspective illuminate our understanding of both racism and the struggle against it – and is ‘Europe’ part of the problem or solution?
Kenan Malik is the author of Not So Black and White and Strange Fruit. Hans Kundnani is the author of Eurowhiteness and Utopia or Auschwitz.
