Overview

What is antiracist activism? And how do we organise for power around antiracist principles? In this groundbreaking collection, long-time activist Joshua Virasami gathers the voices of some of our most inspirational organisers, 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 organising. 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 struggles, 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.

Reviews

'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 <i>What is Anti-Racism? And Why it Means Anti-Capitalism</i>
