As profound socio-racial crises collide with mass anti-racist mobilisations, this book focuses on the praxes of academics working within, and against, their institutions in pursuit of anti-racist social justice. Amidst a searing critique of the university's neoliberal and imperial character, Joseph-Salisbury and Connelly situate the university as a contested space, full of contradictions and tensions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Drawing upon original empirical data, the book considers how anti-racist scholar-activists navigate barriers and backlash in order to leverage the opportunities and resources of the university in service to communities of resistance. Showing praxes of anti-racist scholar-activism to be complex, diverse, and multi-faceted, and paying particular attention to how scholar-activists grapple with their own complicities in the harms perpetrated and perpetuated by Higher Education institutions, this book is a call to arms for academics who are, or want to be, committed to social justice. -- .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joseph-Salisbury, Remi, Connelly, Laura","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42465727840440,"sku":"9781526157966","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781526157966.jpg?v=1734706903","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781526157966","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
