ON BUILDING GENUINE SOLIDARITY

A Salon with Rachel Shabi


 Ideas Festival  / Sun 30th Nov / 4-5:30 pm


We find ourselves in a storm of misinformation, accusations and bad faith. Drawing on her own British-Iraqi Jewish identity, Rachel Shabi challenges simplistic narratives and asks how we can build genuine solidarity in a fractured political climate. Picking apart our polarised politics, she offers a major contribution to the anti-racist struggle.  

She reveals the obscured and entangled histories of racism and antisemitism, looks at questions of whiteness, Christian Zionism, pro-Israel antisemitism, the Palestinian struggle against colonialism and the untapped potential of the Left in coalition building. 

With the skilled moderation of peace-building & conflict resolution advocate Sandra Melone, we’ll navigate some of the most divisive issues of our time and look for hopeful ways forward for progressive politics.
