Following David Theo Goldberg's astute insights, this article discusses a form of neoliberal authoritarianism that extends incessant denial of systematic racial degradation by de(-)meaning anti-racism. #EarlyView in #BJS ➡️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

My new article, 'De(-)Meaning Anti-Racism', in the British Journal of Sociology. It argues that de(‐)meaning works to redefine anti‐racist struggle as racist and hostile, while recasting racialised and militarised state power as anti‐racist and humane. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Really interesting article by a brilliant group of scholars. Very excited that Chenchen Zhang is doing the next #LeftRenewal webinar on Saturday (10 am BST I think) cc @terezahendl.bsky.social @amit-singh.bsky.social leftrenewal.org/wi/

My book, The Racial Politics of Police Warfare, is published today. It explores the intersection between institutional racism and war power through everyday policing.

My book is out today! Based on long-term ethnographic research in the Czech city of Ostrava, it theorises the link between political economy & anti-Roma racism. It offers a critique of the low-cost labour regime, which is the backbone of Czech manufacturing production tinyurl.com/ymvf6kby

It exists!

Knife crime! Pronouns! Meat bans! Some political issues lead to "hotter", more emotional and polarizing debates than others. We show how these "trigger points" reveal a contested structure of moral expectations and how they get weaponized by polarization entrepreneurs. OA @bjsociology.bsky.social 🧵

Wonderful to see this in print! I wrote the chapter on decolonisation in Interrogating the Global Social Challenges, a collective effort by @uomsociology.bsky.social showcasing the breadth of our research and its political urgency.

My new book Cancelled Futures is out with @princetonupress.bsky.social September 8th Based on 62 interviews with working-class youth living in East London, Rochdale & Morecambe it examines how race, class, gender and place shape how young people envision their transition to work shorturl.at/hVEL7

Sivamohan Valluvan et Amit Singh - Pubs for the people The fight for the pint and the nation À paraître en octobre aux Manchester UP

Really looking forward to this!

My kind of research! That said, I have not been to a pub in 5 years now because of infection risk and also that kidney failure means I cannot drink a whole pint of any fluid. But the pub as a space, and place for conversation. Nothing beats it in my mind.

Pubs for the People by me & Vallu is out with @manchesterup.bsky.social in October. On how the pub can be salvaged as a space for the Good Life that goes beyond boring ideas of White England. A bargain at £18.99 in hardback (cant even get 3 pints for that!) www.waterstones.com/book/pubs-fo...

I'm very pleased to have just received my copy of this funky new sociology textbook! I've written the appendix for this innovative volume, which offers a practical exploration of what it means for the social sciences to take colonialism seriously. bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/the-modern-w...

Advance notice of this seminar - Islamophobia and anti-racism: ongoing lessons for the ‘British left - taking place next Friday 13th with @scarletharris.bsky.social. Scarlet's book has just been published by MUP (below). 11-1 in Room 416 in the Gilbert Scott building, East Quadrangle. All welcome.
