In Conversation with Dr. Arun Kundnani, author of "What is Antiracism?" (Verso)
Join us on Zoom, Wednesday September 30 at noon PST, in conversation with Arun Kundnani.
From his website: "Kundnani is a writer interested in race, Islamophobia, surveillance, political violence, and radicalism. A good introduction to his overall political perspective is this article, first published in the Guardian: 'There are two kinds of antiracism.'
"Born in London, Kundnani moved to New York in 2010 and now lives in Philadelphia. The Guardian has described him as 'one of Britain’s best political writers.' Kundnani is the author of What is Antiracism? (Verso, 2023), The Muslims are Coming! (Verso, 2014) and The End of Tolerance (Pluto, 2007), which was selected as a New Statesman book of the year, and co-author of Homeland Security: Myths and Monsters (Common Notions, 2024). He has written for the Nation, the Guardian, the Washington Post, and The Intercept. A former editor of the journal Race & Class, he holds a PhD from London Metropolitan University and is an Associate of the Transnational Institute.
"Kundnani is currently working on a biography of Jamil Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown, to be published by Doubleday. The project has been supported with a 2024 Whiting Creative Nonfiction grant, and a grant from the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture at New York Public Library."
