Description
Being Human After 1492 explores the ongoing struggle against racism and its resurgence in modern societies. The author examines how historical events, such as the legacy of colonialism and slavery, continue to shape contemporary politics and social life.
The past is not merely a distant memory but an accumulation of time that informs our present. This book delves into the ways in which white revanchism has rallied under demagogic leadership, resulting in significant events such as Brexit, presidential impeachments, and the election of polarising figures like Trump.
Through this analysis, the author sheds light on the urgent need to confront the reality that 'abstract equality' does not automatically eradicate racism. By understanding the historical context and its ongoing impact, we can better navigate our way forward in the struggle for a more equitable society.
