The latest (somewhat random) collection of essays and stories from around the web that have caught my eye and are worth plucking out to be re-read. . The triumph of American idealismAlex Hochuli, Damage, 17 June 2023 What has motivated people from Sweden to New Zealand to take to the streets, for non-Americans to express solidarity with an American cause? We are all horrified to see police brutality and think racism is bad, of course, but that hardly suffices as […]

. This essay, on the ways we categorise people, was my Observer column this week. (The column included also a short tribute to Paulette Wilson.) It was published on 26 July 2023, under the headline ‘Don’t call me BAME. We need a new political language.’ ‘I hate being described’ as one, tweeted Channel 4’s Krishnan Guru-Murthy. Sunder Katwala, founder of the thinktank British Future, doesn’t identify as one. And last week Coventry’s Belgrade theatre promised never to use the description again. What they are all talking about is […]

Almost by accident, the German musician and sculptor Armin Küpper came across a set of huge gas pipes. Yelling into them, he discovered the beauty of natural delay and reverb. So, he returned with his sax, and later with a guitar – and a new genre of call and response was born. The sounds he creates, and the accompaniment of the perfect-pitch echo, is quite extraordinary. Küpper  has posted a series of YouTube videos of his pipe gigs. Enjoy. .

This essay, on the importance of free speech for those without power, was my Observer column this week. (The column included also a short piece on Shamima Begum and British citizenship.) It was published on 19 July 2023, under the headline ‘It’s the powerless who suffer when free speech is threatened’. The cartoon shows a bearded man in paradise, reclining on a couch in a tent, with a virgin on either arm. God pokes his head in. ‘Do you need anything?’ he asks. ‘Yes, […]

This is the opening section to my essay in Prospect on white identity politics. Read the full article in Prospect. ‘White Lives Matter Burnley!’ ran the banner trailed by a plane above the Etihad stadium, Manchester City’s ground, during a match with Burnley in June. Since the Premier League resumed after the coronavirus hiatus, players and officials have ‘taken the knee’ at the start of matches in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement against racism and police brutality. The […]

This essay, on the degeneration of anti-racism into ‘unconscious bias’ training, was my Observer column this week. (The column included also a short piece on Hagia Sophia.) It was published on 12 July 2023, under the headline ‘Enough of the psychobabble. Racism is not something to fix with therapy’. Are you racist? And, if so, how would I know? I used to think that a good gauge may be whether you call me a ‘Paki’, or assault me because of my skin […]

To the outsider, cricket is a bafflingly genteel game. But those who know the game, know also that few sports so seethe with political tension.   In the nineteenth century, MCC Secretary Lord Harris called cricket ‘the building block of Empire’. As governor of Bombay in the 1890s, Harris introduced cricket to India to teach ‘moral lessons to the masses’. In the twentieth century it became a vehicle for forging anti-imperialist consciousness and a sense of national pride. And nowhere more […]
