Description
Race & Class, October 2010, leads with an article by Nancy Murray on ‘Profiling in the age of total information awareness’. In the US, such awareness linked to racial profiling and implemented by the little accountable Joint-Terrorism Task Forces is especially focused on Muslims, immigrants and prisoners.
Rehana Ahmed provides a new take on the protests against the book and film of Brick Lane by Monica Ali, Ché Singh Kochhar-George examines the Nepalese Gurkhas fight for equality and Jerry Harris argues that green capitalism has failed to reconcile fundamental contradictions between globalisation and sustainability.
