I wrote something similar a while ago. As the book makes clear, we have to realise that racism hurts all of us. It isn’t just about those who it targets – it is a poison which corrupts everything. Emma Dabiri: It's very interesting for me because this is an area that I've been involved in for years and years. It's really interesting to see something that at one stage to talk about was incredibly taboo and very fringe, actually, to become increasingly mainstream and then completely turbo-charged by the events of 2020. I've seen a phenomenal change occur.

What interests me is thinking about the ways in which a vast array of oppressions or forms of disadvantage might have a common origin.’ Dabiri lives in London, where she is completing her PhD in visual sociology at Goldsmiths while also teaching at SOAS and continuing her broadcast work.

Und wirklich gut zu lesen, es ist verständlich und es gibt einen mit Zitaten aus anderen Werken, mit Fußnoten, einfach die Möglichkeit noch tiefer in das Thema und die verschiedenen Sichtweisen einzutauchen, so viele Quellen, die man auch noch lesen kann.Recently online activism has become the mean to do any kind of activism, replacing actually doing something with, well, a performance. The need to follow what’s 'trending' in social media plataforms is somewhat counterproductive, because these hollow, worthless gestures become the standard thing to do, and even if people argue it gives 'visibility', what's the use if no work is actually being done in the real world. Ich bin so froh, dass ich das Buch angefragt und auch bekommen hatte. Vor allem, dass ich es nicht ewig in meiner Kindle App habe liegen lassen, sondern es auch gleich gelesen habe. Another major aspect of this book is the criticisms of social media and the commercialization of activism.

This rigid concept of race also deliberately prevented coalitions forming between poorer white people, and the enslaved, she continues. “The people who came to be known as white and were also exploited, were taught not to see the humanity in other exploited racialised groups and to see their fate and fortune more in alignment with other white people — even if those white people were also oppressing them. The potential for class solidarity become completely eclipsed by the imposition of racialised identities. … Capitalism was very present in all of those decisions.”

I would recommend this book as it offers clear points that cause you to question your behaviour and provides you with new ways of thinking without conforming to the terms and advice of online discourse surrounding anti-racism.
