Writing on racial capitalism and fascism. Reader of WEB Du Bois, Cedric J. Robinson, Sylvia Wynter and the histories of fascism and race. PhD @ WSU, postdoc @cambridgesociology ☘️

I’ll say it again: Matthew Goodwin is, to an extent, the product of an academic field that is dedicated to the study of racists but routinely refuses to seriously or deeply engage with other academic work on race.

Last article I commissioned for the neoliberalism–fascism special issue is out! The article shows how neoliberal capitalism's racial hierarchies, border regimes & patriarchal structures create the conditions for fascism to thrive. Fighting it means systemic change, not just defending liberal ideals.

The idea that our friends, relatives, neighbours and colleagues should be summarily flung out of the country by some future Tory government because they don't fit some right wing extremist's definition of "cultural coherence" should set alarm bells ringing everywhere.

Sunday Times interview Tory "rising star" Katie Lam She is clear she wants lots of legal migrants to be told to "go home" so as "to leave a mostly but not entirely culturally coherent group of people" (The interviewer suggests she is scrapping ILR or stripping people of it)
