This article traces the results of the largely novel mobilisation for equality by Blacks in North Africa during the Arab Spring. Progress towards racial equality has been uneven at best. In some areas, slavery and virulent racism have been reinvigorated. In others, Maghrebi white majorities have taken tentative steps to, for the first time, acknowledge their countries' legacies of racial slavery and oppression. This is most evident in the civil society associations, that include white members, which emerged to confront racism and slavery during the Arab Spring. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
