A World Without Racism: Building Antiracist Futures
Autor Joshua Virasamien Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 iul 2024
‘With the racism of poverty and state violence deepening relentlessly, new generations have responded, to create new forms of antiracist struggle. A World Without Racism is an essential guide to this work’ Arun Kundnani, author of What is Anti-Racism? And Why it Means Anti-Capitalism
‘An antiracist communion towards revolutionary love – it is what you need to read for the emergencies before us’ Gargi Bhattacharyya, author of The Futures of Racial Capitalism
What is antiracist activism? And how do we organize for power around antiracist principles? In this groundbreaking collection, activist Joshua Virasami gathers the voices of some of our most inspirational organizers, thinkers, and collectives.
A World Without Racism offers a set of clear-eyed, radical, and accessible principles and strategies for building working-class power through antiracist organizing. The book features ten contributions from collectives such as Sisters Uncut, No More Exclusions, Tipping Point, and Greater Manchester Tenants Union on subjects including women’s liberation, land and food, healthcare and housing, culture, imperialism, policing, prisons, and climate justice.
Challenging the harms of the racist establishment as well as the entrenchment of the liberal diversity-inclusion complex, this book carves out a much-needed space for the ideas of radical antiracists, putting the politics back into activism.
Joshua Virasami is an antiracist activist and organizer. He is the author of How to Change It. He has also written for the Guardian, Independent, and Novara Media. He has been involved with many grassroots initiatives and is currently head of organizing and training at the London Renters Union.

Recenzii
'This publication is a welcome addition to the literature that supports the movement for change. It gives much needed coherence to our understanding of the current anti racist struggles and their links to each other and the past. Importantly it is an example of a scholarly endeavour that has a practical application for activists. It is a weapon in the armoury in our fight for social justice and equality.'
Leila Hassan Howe, editor, writer and anti-racism activist
'Reviving the fierce tradition of transnationalism and practices of global solidarity that were core to grassroots anti-racist movements in the 1970s & 1980s, A World Without Racism brings together key anti-racist scholars and organisers from a new generation to examine the operation of race and racism in our current political conjuncture. It exposes the productive tensions that can drive our political demands and formations, it invites us, to think again about what is to be done.'
Lola Olufemi, author of Feminism, Interrupted: Disrupting Power
'With the racism of poverty and state violence deepening relentlessly in Britain, new generations have responded, drawing on the legacies of their predecessors to create new forms of antiracist struggle. A World Without Racism is an essential guide to this work and the possible futures it beckons.'
Arun Kundnani, author of What is Anti-Racism? And Why it Means Anti-Capitalism
'Forget the distractions of culture wars, cancelling and black and brown faces in high places. This is an antiracist communion towards revolutionary love - and it is what you need to read and keep close for the emergencies before us.'
Gargi Bhattacharyya, author of The Futures of Racial Capitalism
'A rare snapshot of British anti-racism from the people and movements at the frontlines of radical struggle. A World Without Racism is an archive of the present - diagnosing problems, analysing strategies and proposing radical visions for the liberated future being built today'
Adam Elliott-Cooper, author of Black Resistance to British Policing
