Evidence
In much of the literature on ‘everyday multiculture’, racism is insufficiently theorised, structural relations of hierarchy and inequality fade from view, and culture loses its unruly potential.

The article first argues that the social and political implications of conviviality can be better registered when placed in relation to state violence and state racism. — Luke de Noronha, The conviviality of the overpoliced,…, 5
