Dissecting State Racism: in conversation with Smina Akhtar

What, exactly, is state racism? We know what it means to be subjected to explicit, in-your-face racist abuse, but what about the racism that lives in our government and the departments and institutions that flow from it? We chatted to the amazing Smina Akhtar about her research into this topic and consider the history of British immigration policies, how anti-racist the Scottish government and local authorities really are, and the current fightback against the inhumane treatment of people living in asylum accommodation in Glasgow.  NOTE: this episode was recorded before the Park Inn attack.  --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-anti-racist-educator/message
