About the talk:
Is Britain becoming a more racist society? In this seminar, writer and commentator, Arun Kundnani, examines how a thirty-year consensus on race and immigration policy has been overturned by New Labour's discourse of community cohesion and managed migration. He argues that the new forms of racism that are emerging - directed particularly at Muslims and migrants who are perceived as embodying 'alien values' - are linked to the war on terror and globalisation. And he also suggests some of the ways in which the new racisms can be challenged.
