Robbie Shilliam

I’ve just published a book with Agenda, called Race and the Undeserving Poor: From Abolition to Brexit.

There’s a debate on the book at DisorderofThings, including an intro and a response by me. They are really excellent critical engagements with the book. The forum was organized by Lisa Tilley.

• My intro
• Race, nation and welfare: Eugenics and the problem of the ‘anti-social’ citizen, by Sara Salem
• Wooden Stakes: In Response to Robbie Shilliam’s Race and the Undeserving Poor, by Naeem Inayatullah
• The mobility of deservingness: race, class and citizenship in the wake of the ‘Windrush scandal’, by Luke De Noronha
• Seeing Class through Race: Britain’s Racialized Moral Economy and the Construction of a ‘White Working Class’, by Rick Saull
• Shilliam’s Undeserving Refusal. Or, why a relational politics of liberation was always (is always) possible, by Lisa Tilley
• My final response
