Boys In The Cave

Boys In The Cave

We explore the political architecture behind CVE (Countering Violent Extremism), the historical context of Islamophobia, and why certain forms of “anti-racism” can actually perpetuate systemic control. From internalized Islamophobia to the policing of dissent within our own communities,...
