- Title
Song and Dance? The Performance of Antiracist Workshops.
- Authors
Srivastava, Sarita
- Abstract
Because of their increasing presence in a variety of organizations, antiracist workshops have been significant in the recent history of antiracism, and are an important site for analysing local, racialized power relations. By reflecting on workshop practices that emphasize disclosure and display of personal experiences of racism, we may raise questions about how knowledge of racial identities, racism and antiracism is locally produced, understood, defined and circumscribed. The relations and confinements of representation in these workshop practices are compared to the similar tendencies of multiculturalist practice and policy. The alternatives suggested by this critique are also explored, including a model of antiracist workshops based on practical coalition politics.
