6. In my theorization of anti-racism, I used John Rawls's concept of 'public political culture' to describe the way in which the various discourses of anti-racism position themselves in relation to the state (Lentin, Racism and Anti-racism in Europe). According to Rawls, public political culture is a set of 'familiar ideas' that 'play a fundamental role in society's political thought and how its institutions are interpreted'
7. (John Rawls, Justice and Fairness: A Restatement (Cambridge, MA and London: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press 2001), 5-6). I argued that anti-racist principles may be seen as belonging to a wider set of principles contained in the public political culture of western, liberal-democratic nation-states. The extent to which anti-racists adhere to or critique these notions informs us as to their stance on the relationship between 'race' and state.
