By contrast, working class immigrants and their working class families are clearly not worthy of this respect. Hence this gaslighting that the wide-ranging hostility they have faced for decades from many sectors of British society is no more than the "concerns" of primarily working class people.

My critique of Adam Kirsch's "On Settler Colonialism" is out in the Boston Review. Kirsch uses every trick in the book to try to dismiss what he calls "the ideology of settler colonialism," by which he means the idea that settler colonialism exists and is bad. 1/

A carefully nuanced essay. Do read & share widely. The relationship of the Palestinian to Zionism and to Israel has always been one of subordination. This relationship, a colonial one, must guide both our politics and our historical methodology. - Esmat Elhalaby (@esmat.bsky.social) bit.ly/3CVWdQM

Re universities' AI policies and student work: allowing essays to be "structured" with Chat GPT help and also writing "edits" is abdicating the very value of university-level education itself. these two elements are the hardest parts honing critical thinking and the difficult work of writing

I find it hard to believe that she doesn't know about, e.g., the campaign of collective punishment and systematic torture imposed by the British in Kenya in the 1950s. Takes a truly fanatical degree of pro-British nationalism to reconcile those atrocities with an image of "democracy and pluralism"

So yes, we all know that EDI (DEI) is hollow liberal trash. Indeed it's specifically a set of liberal measures designed to contain more radical demands, and rearticulate them as demands totally compatible with the status quo. It's why these measures naturalise and de-materialise racism.
