| Summary: | In this paper I suggest that the weakness of much anti-racism stems
from its inaccurate conceptual and analytical base and its inadequate
analysis of socio-economic reality. The result has been the formu
lation of unrealistic policies which had negative consequences for
individuals, groups and society, and the widespread rejection of all
anti-racism. I suggest that a potentially radical way forward in the
struggle for racial justice involves the resurrection of some currently
discredited concepts in the framework of a broader movement for
human rights which acknowledges the interaction and intersection of
class, gender (and other) oppressions. |
