The purpose of this study is to analyse the impact of Racism on Blacks and the politics behind it during 1960's and70's in America through the poems of Amiri Baraka and Haki Madhubuti. Politics is the activity which regulates and resolves conflict. It is a relationship that governs a society and a country at large. Racism was a social evil not only in America but also in Europe. it was a hierarchy of superiority and inferiority that divided human beings for many centuries.Racism had shaped American society and politics that deeply affected the lives of Afro-Americans. it was an inner threat which had been depicted through different genres such as poetry, drama and novels. But poetry is a medium that seeps through the psyche of an individual easily. These poets have penned lines to espouse the cause of Afro-Americans. Poems have been used as a political weapon in this context to expose racism. The poems, The people burning and Black Art by Amiri and Assassination and Don't cry ,Scream by Haki Madhubuti have been considered to reveal the elements of politics and racism .

To complement the insights of my co-panelists, I will offer some reflections from the perspective of my UN mandate, on the ongoing global anti-racism debate as it has been structured by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the national and transnational uprisings against systemic racism in law enforcement.

This presentation further explores the artistic frameworks developed in the project Where Were You in 1992? The project explores anti-racism, anti-fascism,anti war and anti-nationalist political action, beginning with the struggles of antifascism and racism in the UK to anti war and nationalism in Yugoslavia. The project through recourse to media strategies of montage from art historian Aby Warburg, through to artist, filmmaker Jean Luc Goddard, brings audio-visual content together with personal testimony to map the strategies of media activism in the 90's. The presentation seeks to engage with activists at IIPPE to investigate the media archive of Where Were You in 1992? to explore notions and gestures of "waiting" that permeate political action, connecting their own experiences of activism with those in the archive.

The article discusses postracial society as social fantasy. It opens with a discussion of the lived experience of Americans and their attitude towards racism and social and political inequality. Drawing on the studies of public attitude, the article points towards a persisting racism the postracial society aimed to overcome and to the effect recent Black activism had on dismantling the fantasy. The article shows how on the one hand, racism is grounded in the unconscious and in the way a subject becomes politicized, while on the other hand, racism already permeates political categories such as rights or citizenship, concluding that a Black subject cannot exist politically as a Black subject. There is always something that a Black subject has in the excess and that mis‐fits with White political categories. The article turns to Lacan's psychoanalysis and his ideas of identification to address the relationship between the subject and the form of authority. Further, the article draws on the postcolonial psychoanalytically inspired ideas of Franz Fanon and W. E. B. Du Bois to frame the relationship between the White master and the Black subject and to present the impossibility the Black subject faces when met with the implicitly racially biased White political categories.

This study examines the management of accusations of racism in online discussions on the enactment of Yogyakarta's land ownership instruction, banning non-indigenous Indonesians from the rights to own land in this province. A discursive psychology is applied to analyze a wide range of data collected from Facebook. The data have been obtained over a six-month period between February and July in 2018, where Facebook users had massive talks on this particular topic due to the court's dismissal of the lawsuit carried to repeal the instruction in question. The analysis reveals that Facebook users manage their accusations of racism by avoiding any explicit reference to racism, refraining from making direct accusations of racism, and making direct accusations of racism.

AbstractResearch on the far right has been a booming field for decades now, with far-right parties generally being much more researched than their right, centre and left counterparts, even when they are marginal in terms of politics or electoral support. Yet, for a field that is notorious for its lively definitional debates and tendency to evolve and reinvent itself terminologically, it has appeared unwilling to engage with the concepts of race, racism and whiteness, or with its very positioning in political structures. Through a mixed-methods discursive approach, this article analyses the titles and abstracts of all articles published in peer-reviewed journal in the sub-field of far right studies between 2016 and 2021 (n = 2543) to highlight which terms and concepts are primed and which are obscured. This article highlights a tendency to prime euphemising terms and concepts such as 'populism' and avoid those which engage with systemic and structural forms of oppression such as racism and whiteness. This article thus aims to both map and make sense of the absence of whiteness and racism in the corpus by arguing that it is a symbol of the ongoing presence of colourblind approaches and a lack of reckoning with the scale and pervasion of systemic racism in contemporary societies.

DEI is built upon a foundation whose very mission is to perpetuate racism.
