This week on Yeah Nah Pasaran! on 3CR we talk to Alana Lentin [XTwitter/Substack]. Alana is ‘a teacher and writer, and a Jewish European woman who is a settler on Gadigal-Wangal land (Sydney, Australia)’ who works on ‘the critical theorization of race, racism and antiracism’ and is a Professor of Cultural and Social Analysis at Western Sydney University. We previously spoke to Alana in May 2020 about her last book, Why Race Still Matters. On this occasion we spoke to her about race, racism, (anti-)antisemitism, the war on Palestine and more.
