The meanings of racism
Racism can be studied as a psychic as well as social phenomenon or as a system of white supremacy. It’s worth thinking about the whole history of slavery in the British empire and America. Far from ending with the abolition of slavery, patterns of racialisation have endured to this day. Black Lives Matter protesters exemplify an emergent community against ethno-populist-nationalist majoritarianism. Literature was instrumental to make readers aware of the injustice as evidenced by Black and Asian British writing or or used as a form of resistance during the apartheid era.
