Description

The July 2017 issue of Race & Class is now available and you can download the lead article for free (for a limited time only).

The issue leads with a double-length narrative history of the little known New York City jail riots of the 1970s which predated that at Attica. Toussaint Losier, assistant professor of Afro-American Studies at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, examines the roles of the Black Panther Party and the Young Lords in organising revolts alongside working-class detainees suffering preventive detention because they were too poor to afford bail, the response from Mayor John Lindsay and the winning of unprecedented bail review hearings. Though short-lived, these events shed light on the contested legacy of preventive detention, a crucial strategic reminder amidst today’s resurgence in ‘law and order’ rhetoric and practice.

    Race & Class, July 2011

    £3.00     The July 2011 issue contains four key articles, leading with 'What postcolonial theory doesn't say' by Neil Lazarus in which he exposes the category error at the heart of the postcolonial studies field - a failure to situate colonialism and imperialism and acknowledge the impact of capitalism and uneven development even as the idea of 'the West' is ever dematerialised.
