In Empire s Endgame, eight anti-racist scholars make a powerful intervention in debates around racial capitalism and political crisis in Britain. While the hostile environment policy and Brexit referendum have thrown the centrality of race into sharp relief, discussions of racism have too often focused on individual behaviours and discrimination. Foregrounding instead the wider political and economic context, the authors trace the ways in which the legacies of empire have been reshaped by global capitalism, the digital environment and the instability of the nation-state.
Empire s Endgame offers both an original perspective on race, the state, media and criminalisation, and a political vision that includes rather than expels in the face of crisis.
