Many of the prominent themes in the UK today have been central to discussions in Northern Ireland for decades. The book sketches out some elements of an emancipatory anti-racism as an alternative.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘Chris Gilligan has taken up the brave challenge of renewing the emancipatory potential of anti-racism as we would have seen it in the 1970s. For too long it has been covered by the dull blanket of conformist “official” anti-racism which has badly let down ethnic minority populations. He does something practically unique, bringing Northern Ireland's sectarianism debates into the new race critical debates. A must read for students and activists alike.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRolando Munck, Dublin City University, author of \u003ci\u003eMarx 2020: After the crisis\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This is a book of superb quality, and immeasurable, timely importance. Sectarianism and racism, Gilligan argues, prevent humanity from being fully human. With this book, Gilligan makes a powerful contribution not only to scholarship, but towards the battle against prejudice itself.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKatie Hayward, Queen’s University Belfast, author of \u003ci\u003eIrish nationalism and European integration\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e‘One of Chris Gilligan's main targets is the simplistic and almost Manichean distinction between “good” anti-racism and “evil” racism. In pursuit of analysing the interplay between the two forces he adds to the complexity by looking at the supposed unique case of Northern Ireland. Here a traditional and seemingly archaic phenomenon of sectarianism has been joined by a supposedly recent discovery of racism in the midst of a peace process. The happy coexistence of sectarianism and racism in the “new” Northern Ireland allows for an intriguing and informative insight into how racism and anti-racism relate to each other in contemporary society.’\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBill Rolston, Emeritus Professor Ulster University, former director of the Transitional Justice Institute, Northern Ireland, author of \u003ci\u003eHow racism came to Ireland\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a thoughtful and challenging study of the role of race and race politics in the modern state, offering support (although I’m not sure the author would see it this way) for the view that it is necessary to go beyond “antiracism,” which represents political emancipation, to the abolition of race and private property itself, which would represent human emancipation.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNoel Ignatiev, Massachusetts College of Art and Design, author of \u003ci\u003eHow the Irish Became White\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e1       Introduction\u003cbr\u003e2       Differentiating racism and sectarianism\u003cbr\u003e3       Racisms and the Race Relations approach\u003cbr\u003e4       Anti-racism and disavowed racism\u003cbr\u003e5       Rethinking anti-racism\u003cbr\u003e6       From civil rights to multiculturalism\u003cbr\u003e7       Hate crime\u003cbr\u003e8       Conclusion\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51037336797527,"sku":"9780719086533","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780719086533.jpg?v=1750935344","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/northern-ireland-and-the-crisis-of-antiracism-rethinking-racism-and-sectarianism-9780719086533","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
