Wrote this a while ago with @WanjiKelbert on Awaab Ishak, the toddler who died from mould inhalation. We were struck by how his death told a familiar story of the abandonment of racialised working class populations.

Seeing Rai’s coverage of the genocide in, and liberation of, Bangladesh radically changed my sense of what South Asian history “looked like”. An extraordinary life which brought so many other lives into the light.

🌟NEW EPISODE RELEASE!!

Over 2.6 million people are locked out of the #welfare state in the UK and now subject to ‘no recourse to public funds’ (#NRPF), an immigration policy restricting access to social security. How can local #government respond? How can we improve the safety net for #vulnerable people locked out of the welfare system due to their #immigration status?

Awaab Ishak & the devaluation of migrant, working-class life by Alexandra Wanjiku Kelbert & Rupinder Parhar

The authors analyse the mechanics behind Awaab's death which an inquest found was due to respiratory condition caused by prolonged mould exposure.

We also show how migrants and refugees in the UK are a crucial, but often neglected, component of the working class - as demonstrated in the ripple effect of their mistreatment for the wider working class.

The article should be free to read for a while

Looking at the premature deaths of Awaab, Mizanur Rahman, Ella Kissi-Debrah and Grenfell residents, we have tried to piece together a thread of how vulnerability is produced for racialised working class populations.

[Rupinder @Rupinder0_]

‘[the] narratives…contained a critical subtext about gender, race, and nation that associated the sources of racial violence with male culprits who could be imagined as deviant and categorically un-British in order to preserve & defend the mystique of British anti-racism’

[Rupinder @Rupinder0_]

Pertinent from Michael Neocosmos, on 2008 pogroms in South Africa: ‘it is striking how most commentators have stressed poverty & deprivation as underlying causes…economic factors…cannot possibly account for why it was those deemed to be [foreign] who bore the brunt of…attacks’

[Rupinder @Rupinder0_]

largely attributed to the reckless actions of “irresponsible youths”…who were in no way representative of the larger White society’s values or dispositions towards Black people… a second theme…focused on…recent “immigration” of people of colour from commonwealth countries’

@BennnyH Thanks for writing this Benny

[Rupinder @Rupinder0_]

Excited for this! We’ll be covering contemporary exclusion of migrant families from social support within the UK & EU, the stark vulnerabilities these precipitate + postcolonial histories that inform these exclusions

The voices of survivors & evidence of Modi's culpability can't be silenced! To mark 21 yrs since the #GujaratPogrom, members of the diaspora & allies share readings from #BBCDocumentary The Modi Question, blocked in India by Modi. #GujaratGenocideNeverForget #ModiBloodOnYourHands

[Alex Wanjiku Kelbert @WanjiKelbert]

In the past few years I’ve spent a lot of time researching the framing of 'legitimate concerns' and 'legitimate voices' in UK politics by both the right and the left. Here are a few thoughts on how I see this playing out around recent riot in Knowsley
