Join us in the UCLA Law Library as we celebrate the launch of Professor of Law Anna Spain Bradley’s new book, Global Racism: A Challenge for the World. Racism, in all of its forms, harms millions of people around the world, but what exactly is it? The answer, Prof. Spain Bradley argues, is older, more complex, and more global than we have ever acknowledged.  Drawing from law, history, and modern-day accounts of racism from around the world, Global Racism advances an original thesis. Prof. Spain Bradley names global racism as an uncharted form of oppression operating on a global scale that interacts with the human ecosystem and world order. The book creates space for compelling conversations, connecting people across continents and cultures in recognition of a shared form of oppression. With two decades of experience as a legal scholar, human rights advocate, and UN legal expert, Prof. Spain Bradley warns that global racism is not just a problem for some people and some nations, but for us all. The way forward demands that nations define racism as a human rights violation under international law. It also requires replacing ideologies of superiority with dignity, embracing the power of inclusive education, and launching a coordinated framework to tackle a global threat. Global Racism calls on readers to rethink what it means to be human, defined not by what divides us but by what unites us.
