1. The construction of #CJS institutions as white spaces (see E Anderson).
2. The old imposed colonial myths of Black criminality (see P Gilroy)

This, on late British imperial administrators in Iran & Iraq, looks excellent. Focuses on the intertwining of the personal and the political.

No Other Land depicts the horrifying violence Palestinians in the West Bank endure under apartheid.

Yesterday, its co-director Hamdan Ballal was beaten in his home by settlers before being detained by Israeli forces.
