Article

Landecker Democracy Fellow Lievnath Faber recently wrote a Facebook post in which she reflects on the first Racism Quiz and Knowledge Test that aired on public television a few days after the Dutch elections. In her post, Lievnath argues that while the test “exposed once and for all the problems of institutionalized anti-black racism in the Netherlands,” it clearly lacked questions on Antisemitism as well as anti-Asian racism. Lievnath writes that although Jews don’t fit well into the “visible racism context,” it doesn’t mean that conversations surrounding race should exclude them.
