In the book Anti-Racisms and Anti-Racists. Realistic utopias, tensions and everyday experiences, 24 researchers explore how resistance to various forms of racism is pursued and embodied among groups of people who dream beyond racism in a variety of ways, often contradictory, rarely successful, but always stubborn and forward-looking. The anthology illustrates the breadth of anti-racism, but also analyses its problems and weaknesses.
Inspired by anti-, post- and decolonial traditions, among others, together with social movement perspectives, the anthology challenges a static and essentialising approach found in research and policy that tends to emphasise the stability and immutability of inequality, even in the case of racism.
In addition to a variety of concrete analyses and descriptions of historical and contemporary activism, the various authors also show the possibilities of anti-racism and can thus provide some hope, in these dark times, for those who want a society without racism.

Turkiet med sina vackra turistorter vid Medelhavet och Svarta havet, sina mytomspunna historiska platser, viktiga handelsleder och stora naturrikedomar skulle kunna vara ett av världens rikaste länder och ett paradis att leva i. Men Turkiet är ett land som förföljer sin egen befolkning, sina läkare, lärare och akademiker. Ett land där medborgarna är rädda för sin egen stat. Där var tredje ung människa vill emigrera för gott. Är Turkiet på väg att bli ett nytt Saudiarabien?

Ett urval av filosofen Åsa Wikforss kulturartiklar och debattexter. Samlingen är en knivskarp analys av hoten mot kunskapen och vår sårbarhet i ett opålitligt informationslandskap ? och ett klarsynt vittnesbörd från fem avgörande år för svensk demokrati. Med start i valåret 2018 blottlägger hon förskjutningarna: Vad händer med demokratin när populister får makten över politiken? Hur ser hoten mot yttrandefriheten ut när auktoritära krafter växer sig starka? Och hur stärker vi det förnuftiga och demokratiska samtalet i postsanningens tid?
