Description
What does antisemitism really look like today – and how is it misunderstood, politicised, and weaponised? In this urgent and wide-ranging conversation, journalist and author Rachel Shabi discusses her powerful new book, Off-White, which explores the shifting landscape of antisemitism and its place within wider struggles for justice.
Drawing on her own British-Iraqi Jewish identity, Shabi challenges simplistic narratives and asks how we can build genuine solidarity in a fractured political climate.
Timely, provocative, and deeply human, this event invites us to rethink race, identity, and belonging in a world increasingly divided by them.
