Media, 'Diversity' and Racial Capitalism

Dr Anamik Saha

Drawing on his recent AHRC-funded project ‘Rethinking Diversity in Publishing’, based on interviews with over 100 professionals in the UK publishing industry, Anamik Saha critically explores the ‘diversity’ paradigm that characterises creative industries policy. He explores how ‘diversity' is understood and operationalised within UK publishing, and what this reveals about the nature of racial capitalism within the current conjuncture.

Anamik Saha is Senior lecturer in Media & Communications at Goldsmiths, University of London, where he co-convenes the MA in Race, Media and Social Justice. His book Race and the Cultural Industries (Wiley) was published in 2017.
