Udi Sommer, Tel Aviv University, Israel & Idan Franco, Northwestern University, USA
How is it possible that Donald Trump, a champion of racist and anti-immigrant policies, has only attracted more minority voters since 2016?

Race and Injustice in the United States

D Marvin Jones writes that the problem of race lies in the way Blackness has been inextricably knotted together in our culture with presumptions During segregation this was a presumption of inferiority, but in our era, it is primarily a presumption of dangerousness or criminality In chapters on slavery, urban spaces, the drug war, media portrayals, and white spaces, Jones shows how the presumption of guilt continues to shape the treatment of Black people in the United States He argues that this presumption is a social process linked to a widely shared racial ideology

Reinventing Aurobindo Ghose
Ideational Vision and Nationalism
Bidyut Chakrabarty, Previously, Vice-Chancellor, Visva-Bharati, India
Aurobindo Ghose’s ideology challenges the traditional division between his nationalist and spiritual phases His nationalism (1893–1910) was deeply rooted in India’s intellectual heritage, resisting Westernisation and advocating cultural revival Rather than abandoning politics for spirituality, he saw them as interconnected in India’s freedom struggle Rejecting colonial assimilation, he championed mass mobilisation across castes, religions, and genders His vision was not a shift but a seamless evolution, integrating political resistance with spiritual awakening Aurobindo’s thought defies simplistic categorisation, offering a holistic framework where nationalism and spirituality converge in the pursuit of India’s selfrealisation and cultural resurgence
