SUMMARY:: Online: Black History Month 23: In Conversation with Arun Kundnan
 i
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nLocation: Online\n\nTicket price: £3 \n\nDate: October
  10\, 2023\nTime: 7:00 pm\n\n\n\n\n\nGET TICKETS\n\n\nWoW presents an in 
 conversation with Arun Kundnani on his new book What is Antiracism and wh
 y it means Anticapitalism?\n\nFor almost a century\, liberals viewed racis
 m as rooted in extremist individual beliefs. Figures like Magnus Hirschfel
 d and Ruth Benedict advocated education to reduce prejudice\, birthing tod
 ay’s liberal anti-racism seen in diversity training and Hollywood activi
 sm.\n\nSimultaneously\, a radical anti-racism emerged in the Global South\
 , linking racism to colonialism and capitalism. Thinkers like C.L.R. James
 \, Claudia Jones\, and Frantz Fanon illuminated these connections\, a pers
 pective adopted by Martin Luther King.\n\nToday\, despite white liberals c
 onfronting their whiteness\, structural oppression persists\, as Arun Kund
 nani’s work highlights.\n\nThis narrative history dissects these anti-ra
 cism strands. Neoliberalism’s rise revealed that combating racism necess
 itates challenging its capitalist roots.\n\nArun Kundnani has been active 
 in antiracist movements in Britain and the United States for three decades
 . He is a former editor of the journal Race &amp\; Class and was a scholar
 -in-residence at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at the
  New York Public Library. The Guardian has described him as “one of Brit
 ain’s best political writers.” He is the author of What is Antiracism
 ?\, The Muslims are Coming!\, and The End of Tolerance. He lives in Phila
 delphia.\n\n*These are difficult times. We know some people may struggle t
 o afford full price tickets. If you would like to attend this event but ca
 n’t afford to\, please contact info@writingonthewall.org.uk. All quer
 ies will be treated in confidence.
