Permanent Racism

Reviews / Votes

"The book's focus is on Britain, still in the embers of Brexit, COVID-19, and Black Lives Matter protests, a volatile period marked by far-right rhetoric entering the mainstream and by overt resistance to antiracism policies. Indeed, these are the conditions of many liberal democracies today making Warmington's work especially vital." Ethnic and Racial Studies "This is one of the most important books on British race relations and social theory to be published in this century. Warmington dissects the facile postracialism, and its colourblind ideology, that is the mainstream view among government and media, serving to silence critique and protect the racist status quo. The book powerfully analyses the current problems and sets out an agenda for the decolonisation of antiracism itself." David Gillborn, University of Birmingham "This is a brilliant book! It provides superb theorisation and in-depth analysis of Critical Race Theory and the notion of the permanence of racism. This is a must-read for all race scholars and activists." Vini Lander, Leeds Beckett University "A wonderful book that offers a forensic diagnosis of the enduring nature of racism in the contemporary context. It is a must-read (and re-read) for all who have an interest in race, racism and antiracism." Remi Joseph-Salisbury, University of Manchester
