The New Racial Regime: Recalibrations of White Supremacy (Pluto Press, 2025), with author Alana Lentin, Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis, Western Sydney University

Prof. Alana Lentin's newest book shows how the attacks on Black, Indigenous and anticolonial thought and praxis reveal the processes through which racial colonial rule is ideologically resecured. The often chaotic and contradictory restitching of the racial regime is traced through the attacks on Critical Race Theory; the ‘whitelash’ against the teaching of histories of slavery and colonialism; the counterinsurgent capture and institutionalisation of antiracism, Indigeneity and decoloniality in the interests of Zionism, settler colonialism, and imperialism; and the ways that the state mandated ‘war on antisemitism’ reforms white supremacism in a time of genocide.

Join us for a lecture and conversation with Prof. Lentin!
