In this part of the interview on Rights Rorts and Rants on 31 May Fran Dyson discusses with Alana Lentin her views on local reactions to the War in Palestine in Sydney and nationally. Alana raises the decision announced in May 2024 by the Australian Human Rights Commission to lead an anti-racism study into universities with an emphasis on anti-semitism. Listeners are urged to be vigilant about what this research throws up. The need to protect university students of Arabic background in Western Sydney from the ramifications of the genocide on them and recognise the destruction of schools and education in Gaza are also raised in the interview's conclusion. For follow-up reading Alana quotes American scholar Ruth Wilson Gilmore.

In this episode Alex Charnley, Alana Lentin, and Michael Richmond all join the podcast. Josh brought all three of these thinkers together for a discussion on anti-racism in the current conjuncture. This conversation took place across three continents and time zones that were as much as 16 hours apart. Due to its length, we've decided to release this episode in two parts, but because of how arbitrary the cut-off point is, we've also decided to release them simultaneously so folks can listen to both without having to wait for us to release part 2. Teacher and writer, Alana Lentin is a Jewish European woman who is a settler on Gadigal-Wangal land (Sydney, Australia). She's the author of Why Race Still Matters (Polity 2020), The Crises of Multiculturalism: Racism in a neoliberal age with Gavan Titley (Zed, 2011) and Racism and Antiracism in Europe (Pluto, 2004). Her academic and media articles as well as videos, podcasts, and teaching materials are free to be used and available at www.alanalentin.net Michael Richmond was a co-editor of the Occupied Times and of Base Publication. He has written for publications including OpenDemocracy, New Socialist and Protocols. Alex Charnley was illustrator and co-editor of the Occupied Times and of Base Publication. They each provide broader discussions of their organizing, teaching and publishing backgrounds in the discussion. Michael and Alex's book Fractured: Race, Class, Gender and the Hatred of Identity Politics was just recently released on Pluto Press. Through an appraisal of pivotal historical moments in Britain and the US, including Black feminist and anticolonial traditions on both sides of the Atlantic, the authors question the assumptions of the culture war, offering a refreshing and reasoned way to understand how historical class struggles were formed and continue to determine the possibilities for new forms of solidarity in an increasingly dangerous world. Alana Lentin's latest book Why Race Still Matters is a call to notice not just when and how race still matters but when, how and why it is said not to matter. Lentin argues that society is in urgent need of developing the skills of racial literacy, by jettisoning the idea that race is something and unveiling what race does as a key technology of modern rule, hidden in plain sight. We want to thank them all for this rich discussion and definitely recommend that people pick up their books and engage with their work.

This episode is part 2 of Josh's conversation with Alex Charnley, Alana Lentin, and Michael Richmond. This conversation is extremely wide ranging, but focuses around topics of anti-racism, identity politics, neoliberalism, class politics, and politics of solidarity. In this part of the conversation Alex, Alana, and Michael get a little deeper into discussions of anti-semitism, of historical fracturing and composition of social movements and class struggles, and of so-called anti-identity politics sentiment and anti-trans discourses as well. For full bios and introductions of the guests check out part 1. But just to remind folks this conversation centers primarily around Michael and Alex's book Fractured: Race, Class, Gender and the Hatred of Identity Politics and Alana Lentin's latest book Why Race Still Matters. But beyond that Alana discusses themes she's taken up in her writing on racism and anti-racism over the past couple of decades, and Alex and Michael bring in some important perspective from their own involvements in social movements as well.

O que é racismo reverso? Quando a gente achou que esse assunto já tinha sido superado, nos surpreendemos ao descobrir que a participante do BBB 21, Lumena Aleluia tinha sido indiciada por esse crime. Ela que é psicóloga e militante, sempre que falava a palavra “branquitude” e dizia algo sobre a atriz Carla Diaz acionava todos os botões de alerta, daqueles que não se veem enquanto grupo étnico. São humanos apenas. Alana Lentin e Gavin Titley chamam de vitimização branca: um esforço dos poderes de desviar as conversas sobre os efeitos do racismo estrutural para proteger a branquitude das críticas rigorosas e necessárias. Será que é isso? Escuta o episódio pra descobrir!
What do we mean when we say race? Why is it that it seems like calling someone racist is worse than the racism they display? Who gets to decide what's racism anyway?Alana Lentin, Associate Professor in Cultural and Social Analysis at Western Sydney University, talks to Reema Rattan about her new book 'Why Race Still Matters', which argues that we need to pay attention to both when and how race matters but also when, how and why it is said to not matter.

Émission spéciale pour l'anniversaire des 15 ans du Parti des Indigènes de la République ! "Le PIR est AVENIR!" Cette devise du PIR qui pouvait se comprendre comme une sombre prédiction (le pire est à venir) s'avère d'une redoutable actualité. Elle ne pouvait mieux exprimer la situation dramatique dans laquelle plusieurs milliards d'habitants de cette planète sont plongés du fait d'un virus dont l'existence et la propagation ne sont pas sans lien avec la nature de la civilisation moderne. Il y a quinze ans, un petit groupe de militants, forts de leurs héritages anticolonialistes et antiracistes, et conscients de la barbarie qui venait, lançaient l'"appel des indigènes de la république". Celui-ci allait redistribuer les cartes du militantisme politique issu de l'immigration et des quartiers. Il allait aussi ouvrir un nouveau champ théorique et stratégique autour du concept de race. Depuis, les affrontements, polémiques et controverses n'ont cessé d'émailler le débat public et de déchirer le champ politique blanc, notamment à gauche. Ces fracturations ont permis de nouvelles convergences, de recomposer le champ de la lutte et donner naissance à l'antiracisme politique, ce qui, nous le croyons, est la plus grande innovation politique depuis l'émergence du mouvement écologique. Le PIR(e) est-il arrivé ?, telle est la question qui servira de ligne directrice à cet après-midi de débat et de convivialité. Avec Houria Bouteldja, Youssef Boussoumah, Mehdi Meftah, Norman Ajari, Louisa You, Wissam Xelka, Atman Zerkaoui, Sherine Habache Soliman, Kossi Ayomide Paul et tous leurs invités : Soraya El Kahlaoui, M'baïreh Lisette, Stella Magliani-Belkacem, Françoise Vergès, Mireille Fanon-Mendès-France, Hajar Alem, Nordine Saidi, Ramón Grosfoguel, Omar Benderra, Michèle Sibony (Union Juive Française pour la Paix UJFP), Adrien Nicolas, Daniel Blondin, Ismaël Eïdos, Abdelhadi el Khouja, Ahmad Nougbo, Yessa Bel, Ugo Palheta, Alana Lentin, Yamine Makri, Safa Chebbi, Kader Attia, Simon Assoun, Saad Jouini...

Is Australian media racist? How and, more importantly, why? And what can be done about it? We discuss these questions with Yin Paradies, an Aboriginal-Asian-Anglo Australian who is Chair in Race Relations and Indigenous Knowledges and Culture Coordinator at Deakin University, and Associate Professor in Cultural and Social Analysis at Western Sydney University, Alana Lentin. The discussion is ultimately about what we can do about creating a less racist society since, media is, after all, made up of people just like us.
