Racialisation with general properties: Revisiting The Cruel Optimism of Racial Justice

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debatepeer-review

Abstract / Description of output

The Cruel Optimism of Racial Justice (Meer 2022) considers a seemingly simple question: what can we learn from success and failure in the pursuit of racial justice in the UK and elsewhere in the Global North? Sensitive to the broad aperture with which I seek to survey the problematic, Jean Beaman, Brendan McGeever and Victor Ray provide generous reflections and raise constructive queries spanning matters of space, categories of analysis and sources of hope. This reply seeks both to address these important queries and further elaborate on some key themes further stimulated by their readings.
