Before the introduction of adrenergic blocking agents and pressor substances operative removal of a phaeochromocytoma was a hazardous procedure, with a mortality of up to 25% (Graham, 1951). A mortality of 50% has been reported in operations on patients with unsuspected turnours (Apgar and Papper, 1951 ;Riddell, Schull, Frist, and Baker, 1963
It is not easy to name racism in a context in which race is almost entirely denied. Despite a recent focus on the 'silencing' of race at a macro level, little has been done to explore the effects of living with these processes, including how they might be resisted. Drawing from a study with 20-30 year olds in Manchester, this article addresses this gap. It examines how respondents disavow racism they experience when to do so is counter-intuitively understood to be associated with being racist or intolerant. These narratives demand that we ask the question, why is racism denied? Or, why is it difficult to articulate? To do this, the article argues we must access narratives in ways that reveal the embeddedness of race and contradictory levels of experience and bring attention back to the meanings and effects of race in everyday life in order to challenge racism and white privilege.

This paper examines the effects of austerity on anti-racist and community organizing. We focus on three key shifts: changes to public funding, the push to entrepreneurialism and the mainstreaming of Equalities legislation. The paper contributes to critical understandings of the changing relationship between civil society and the state and the challenges this creates for working against racism. We highlight how austerity acts as an alibi to further diminish race as a policy concern. Organizations and activists are encouraged to act as entrepreneurs and confront each other as competitors, rather than allies in a political struggle. This leads to a very real sense that solidarities are being deliberately ruptured in order to "divide and conquer" and diminish collective organizing capacity. We illustrate how this is compounded by the cumulative affective consequences of austerity measures, often at considerable costs in terms of a broader collective agenda.
