Hi Denise,
I do hope you can come and contribute to this debate, and I look forward to reading your book 'Towards a Global Idea of Race'. Also interesting to see you have been inspired by David Goldberg, as have I, in engaging in the project of of mapping global racisms which forms the intellectua agenda for our conference. Some 'whites' do appear to have their uses.
Best wishes
Ian

Subject: Re: [BSA-RACE] FW: Global Racisms Conference Friday Oct 5th 2012 - University of Leeds - This is England!!!
Hi all,
Nothing has changed much it seems. My inclination is not to use race/color as a criterion
for judging scholarship, nor am I the last player in the game of identity politics. Anyone who knows
me and my work can attest to that. At times, however, one cannot remain silent before certain choices,
for other kinds of naturalizing will not be dissolved.
This conference on world racism opens with two white male professors, one from the US and other from Europe.
More importantly, given the number of outstanding indigenous scholars in the Americas, Oceania, and elsewhere,
I can't possibly understand why Boaventura de Souza Santos is speaking about Indigeneity.
This might be England, I guess. But it does not have to continue to be this way: last October the Centre for Ethics & Politics at QMUL, held a symposium on Postcolonial Capitalism in which 2/3 of the presenters were non-white & non-male junior and established scholars from all over the world, and a good number of them from
here.
Cheers,
Denise
