The Long Walk to Equality

Perspectives on Racial Inequality, Injustice and the Law

Avis Whyte et al. (eds.)

In 1965 the UK enacted the Race Relations Act while the International Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) opened for signature and ratification. Both marked the commitment—domestically by the UK and internationally by the state parties to the ICERD—to address racial injustice and inequality through legal means. Yet, the intervening years reveal the challenges of pursuing racial justice and equality through the medium of law. By exploring contemporary issues in racial justice and equality, this book examines the role of law—whether domestic or international, hard or soft—in advancing, or possibly hindering, racial equality and justice.

The World as Abyss

The Caribbean and Critical Thought in the Anthropocene

Jonathan Pugh, David Chandler

This book introduces an abyssal approach to contemporary politics in the Anthropocene. This is an approach that does not focus upon tropes of rescue and salvation but upon the generative power of negation. In doing so, it highlights how Caribbean experiences and writings have been drawn upon to provide an important and distinct perspective for critical thought.
