Dexter Diax - Public Webinar - 24 July 2020
Update: 2020-07-27
Description
Why did the death of a Black man in Minnesota trigger demonstrations across the globe? Human rights barrister Dexter Dias QC, who for 30 years has represented the families of BAME people killed in state custody in the UK, decodes the ‘moment’ by examining racialised justice in the UK and US across time and social space, showing how the production of “race” as a form of knowledge operates to enforce and justify ethno-racial domination.
