After some delays it’s great to see this published! We sketch out our concept of paradoxical representation by focusing on gendered racisms in the immigration politics of Sunak, Braverman, Badenoch, Patel. Thanks @drshardiabpalmer.bsky.social @mikebankole.bsky.social @politicsgenderj.bsky.social

📣 Out on #FirstView 📣 In their new Critical Perspectives article Neema Begum, Michael Bankole, Shardia Briscoe-Palmer, @dangodshaw.bsky.social & Rima Saini introduce the concept paradoxical representation to understand the actions of ethnic minority officeholders. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Critical perspective article entitled "Skinfolk, but Not Kinfolk? Paradoxical Representation Among Ethnic Minority Conservative Political Elites in the UK" by Neema Begum, Michael Bankole, Shardia Briscoe-Palmer, Dan Godshaw & Rima Saini. First paragraph reads: As the number of ethnic minority politicians increase across countries like the United Kingdom and the United States, so too have instances in which these officeholders act against the communities they descriptively represent. In this contribution, we introduce the concept of paradoxical representation which we argue functions through neoliberal, post-racial scripts of color-blindness and meritocracy. Similar to research on gender representation which calls into question assumptions that substantive representation will follow unproblematically from women’s descriptive representation (Celis and Childs 2012), we argue that ethnic minority representatives can act as “post-racial gatekeepers.” This means paradoxically working against rather than for marginalized ethnic minority groups (Saini, Bankole, and Begum 2023). Through political discourse and policymaking, these representatives construct and “gatekeep” hegemonic ideas around race, racism, gender, and migration.
