SUMMARY:To Exist is to Resist: Black Feminism in Europe
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion on how Black feminism and Afrofeminism are being practiced in Europe today. Speakers Akwugo Emejulu and Dr Francesca Sobande will explore the differing social positions of black feminism in various countries and the ways in which Black feminists organize and mobilize to imagine a Black feminist Europe. This event is also part of Pluto Press’s 50th anniversary celebratory bookshop takeovers.  \nDeeply aware that they are constructed as “others” living in a racialized and hierarchical continent\, the contributors explore gender\, class\, sexuality\, and legal status to show that they are both invisible—presumed to be absent from and irrelevant to European societies—and hyper-visible\, assumed to be passive and sexualized\, angry and irrational. \nIn imagining a future outside the neocolonial frames and practices of contemporary Europe\, this book explores a variety of critical spaces including motherhood and the home\, friendships and intimate relationships\, activism and community\, and literature\, dance\, and film. \nSpeakers \nAkwugo Emejulu is Professor of Sociology at the University of Warwick. She is the author of Community Development as Micropolitics: Comparing Theories\, Policies and Politics in America and Britain (Policy Press\, 2015)\, and the co-author with Leah Bassel of Minority Women and Austerity: Survival and Resistance in France and Britain (Policy Press\, 2017) and Fugitive Feminism (Silver Press\, 2018). \nDr Francesca Sobande is a Digital Media Studies Lecturer at Cardiff University. Her work focuses on how racism and sexism manifest in media and the marketplace. She has published work in the European Journal of Cultural Studies\, and Consumption Markets and Culture\, and is the author of The Digital Lives of Black Women in Britain (Palgrave Macmillan\, forthcoming 2020). \nTickets available here\nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)\n				Insta\n			Like this:Like Loading...

SUMMARY:The War on Drugs and the Global Colour Line
DESCRIPTION:Tickets available here\n  \nJoin Kojo Haram and Ash Sarkar for a very special “celebratory bookshop takeover” by Pluto Press to mark its 50th anniversary. Join Kojo and Ash to discuss this collection which reveals the racist impact of the War on Drugs across multiple continents and in numerous situations. An essential collection for all people fighting racism today.\n  \nThe War on Drugs has led to millions of people dead\, displaced and incarcerated. Disproportionately enforced on oppressed races\, international drug prohibition has reinforced the colour line across the globe. \nWhile laws prohibiting the production\, sale and use of particular drugs are presented as politically neutral and objective\, this collection reveals the racist impact of the war on drugs across multiple continents and in numerous situations. From racialised drugs policing at festivals in the UK to the necropolitical wars in Juarez\, Mexico and from the exchange of drug policing programs between the United States and Israel to the management of black bodies in Brazil\, this collection proves that the regulation of drugs and race is an international\, and intentional\, disaster. \nPushing forward the debate and activism led by groups such as Black Lives Matter and calling for radical changes in drug policy legislation and prison reform\, both nationally and internationally\, this collection cuts deep and rings true for all people fighting racism today. \n“A monumental study of the transnational circuits of racist policing etched out through the War on Drugs\, the immeasurable toll of human suffering they have induced\, and the resistances mounted against them.” Arun Kundnani\, author of The Muslims are Coming \nKojo Koram is lecturer at the School of Law\, University of Essex. \nAsh Sarkar is a British journalist and political activist. She is a senior editor at Novara Media and teaches at Anglia Ruskin University and the Sandberg Institute \nShare this:\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)\n				Insta\n			Like this:Like Loading...
