Back to the Future? Racism after Brexit

This event has finished Took place on: Monday, 5th Dec 2016

 Free

Post-Brexit there have been a number of reports documenting a sharp rise in racial hate attacks against ethnically marked communities in Britain. The increase in hostility towards racial bodies has produced a reading that suggests racism has come back into public spaces and discourse. This paper will demonstrate the way in which racism never left Britain, rather historically, culturally and politically, racism has been a central defining feature of the British state. That is, while Brexit heightened the conditions for racism to flourish, it did not create them. The paper will argue that the idea that Britain is experiencing the return of racism is suggestive of a post-racial fantasy.

This event is part of the 2016-2017 seminar series on ‘Ethnicity and Nationalism in Post-Brexit Britain’.
