Description
Summary:This book is unique in identifying and engaging with an analysis of racism in Mediterranean contexts, including Southern Europe, North Africa, Turkey, the Middle East and Malta. The volume contributes to an empirically based theoretical re-framing of both the racialization of the globe and evaluation of the prospects for anti-racism and the post-racial. The Arab Spring and its aftermath, the hardening of racist exclusions, evictions and exploitation in Southern Europe and the accelerating migration of African people across this area all provide a highly dynamic context urging a re-assessment of the ways in which contemporary processes of racialization are working. This book introduces a new theory of polyracism, which is explored further in forthcoming books in this series, and includes new research on racism in Morocco, Lebanon and Cyprus and on the Roma in Italy. Reorienting accounts of racism in Europe through a Mediterranean lens provides a new platform for re-theorizing global racialization and brings into contemporary debates locations of racialization which are under-researched and frequently ignored
