I was pleased to find out that my article, ‘Post-Race, Post Politics: the paradoxical rise of culture after multiculturalism’ made the list of ‘most-read’ articles among Taylor and Francis journals. The article was published in Ethnic and Racial Studies in which I have two more articles appearing over the next…

Are We Really Post-Race?: A Transnational Perspective
A 2-day research training scheme graduate workshop
2-3 December 2013, University of Western Sydney, Parramatta South (PS-EB.G.17)
Organised by Dr Alana Lentin, Senior Lecturer in Cultural & Social Analysis,
NB: This event is for UWS doctoral students only
Rationale
Since the election of Barack Obama to the US Presidency in 2008, and his re-election in 2012, the idea that US society has moved beyond the stratification caused by race has become the orthodoxy. ‘Postracialism’ as it has become known has parallels in European, Australian and Canadian discourses of anti-multiculturalism and ‘anti-white racism’. The concept has thus become highly relevant for scholars of race, ethnicity and multiculturalism. However, the analysis of its impact on the study of these themes, often marginalised within disciplines, remains nascent.

It’s been such a long time since I last blogged. Over the last few months I have been a visiting fellow at the Institute for Cultural Inquiry in Berlin during which time I co-wrote a book, The Crises of Multiculturalism: Racism in a neoliberal age with Gavan Titley. Pending readers’ reviews which we are waiting for at the end of November, the book will be out on June 9 2011.
During my time in Berlin, we organised a workshop at the ICI on the book’s theme and were delighted to have Guardian journalist Gary Younge join us. The whole workshop is available to watch online.

The Case for Open Borders
This article was originally published in Overland on August 5, 2013. Underlying Bernard Keane’s article – ‘“Let them all come” is “stop the boats” for progressives’ – is a deep sense of indignation about the idea that Australians are racist. The oft-repeated argument is that elitist, disconnected, latte-sippers tut-tut over…
