Dear All Please join Sussex Centre of Cultural Studies for: DEPORTED: FROM WINDRUSH TO THE WAR ON TERROR With Luke de Noronha and Nisha Kapoor 20th June 2018, 3-5pm G31, Jubilee Building, University of Sussex In this talk, Luke and Nisha will draw connections between the Windrush Scandal and the War on Terror, highlighting Britain’s violent history of anti-Black and anti-Muslim racism, and the specific ways it has affected the lives of Black, and Muslim people living in the UK. This will provide insight into the particularities of each case, whilst also engaging with the ways that anti-Black and anti-Muslim racism nurture each other. In accounting for these episodes, Luke and Nisha will engage with the stories of people subjected to deportation and the effect it has had on their lives. Through these accounts of pre-trial incarceration, police brutality, criminalization, broken families, detention and citizenship deprivation we will confront the hostile environment formed between the state, the border, citizenship and racism, as we consider how we might act with this uncomfortable knowledge. Please RSVP here. Tickets are free, but space is limited. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/deported-from-windrush-to-the-war-on-terror-tickets-46365573679 Best wishes Malcolm James, Associate Director, Sussex Centre for Cultural Studies http://www.sussex.ac.uk/sccs/ -------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA mailing list -------------------------------------------------------- To manage your subscription or unsubscribe from the MECCSA list, please visit: https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?SUBED1=MECCSA&A=1 ------------------------------------------------------- MeCCSA is the subject association for the field of media, communication and cultural studies in UK Higher Education.
