Racism by its very presence in our social and political world means that not all ethnic groups benefit equally from economic, political and cultural resources. States and the capitalist system, which derive their power from colonialism, play an active role in the construction of racist regimes in different countries. Each week the seminar will explore the roots of racism and its current instantiation in different countries and regions and compare the ways in which racism plays out in different settings, and leads to the formation of different forms of race-based inequities, exploitation, and stratification. This will allow us to compare the various forms of racism that exist today and have been present through history.
