De(-)Meaning Anti-Racism
1Sociology, Goldsmiths, University of London, London, UK.
Abstract:
Following David Theo Goldberg's astute insights, this article discusses a form of neoliberal authoritarianism that extends incessant denial of systematic racial degradation by de(-)meaning anti-racism. It argues that de(-)meaning works to redefine anti-racist struggle-including demands for a free Palestine and scholarship explaining the politics of racism-as racist and hostile, while recasting racialised and militarised state power as anti-racist and humane. Thus, anti-racism is de-meaned of its ethical and emancipatory terms, re-meaned as an unethical and exclusionary endeavour threatening modern socio-political arrangements, demeaned in the traditional, non-hyphenated sense of the word, and subject to state warfare masquerading as 'anti-racism'. As a specific strategy for maintaining structural racism, de(-)meaning necessitates resistance rather than defensiveness by reclaiming and renewing anti-racism that is at once political, collective, anti-militaristic and transformative.
