Shared state violence can create fellow feeling across ethnic lines.

Evidence

This research, into the lives of a particular group of young men, who were rendered deportable through processes of racialised criminalisation, offers a particular reading of conviviality. Their multi-ethnic identifications were sustained in the context of subjection to racist state violence, in under-resourced and over-bordered urban settings. … More specifically, my concern is with how experiences of coercive state power can themselves encourage convivial connections, especially when people of different ethnicities encounter state violence together. I am interested in how shared experiences of heavy policing and everyday bordering create forms of ‘fellow feeling’ among differently racialised people. — Luke de Noronha, The conviviality of the overpoliced,…, 46
