What is structural antisemitism – its history, contours, and manifestations today? And what is its relationship to Islamophobia, anti-Black and colonial racisms? In this talk Shanice will bring to light the too often forgotten connections between Jews and other racialised groups. As well as exploring the ruptures; from Jewish ethno-nationalism, to the West’s reinvention of itself as the protector of Jews. Concluding with some provocations on what this means for left and anti-racist movements today, Shanice will invite the audience to share their thoughts.
