How can we understand this dynamic today? Thirty years after the initial publication of the se minal volume Race\, Nation\, Class: Ambiguous Identities by Étienne Bal ibar and Immanuel Wallerstein—at a time when this sinister triad is on the rise again—a group of international theorists and activists will redefine the effects of their relations.  In 1988 Balibar and Wallerst ein wrote about the clear entanglements of racism with changing class r elations and the historical formation of the nation state. The virulence of this utterly ambiguous relation can also be seen today in the ongoin g struggles over rights and political participation by migrants in Europ e—as well as in the struggle over the mere possibility of migrating. I n the course of global capitalism racist structures are becoming realign ed\, not only in Europe\, and established class relations are being fund amentally transformed.

How can we understan d this dynamic today? Thirty years after the initial publication of the seminal volume Race\, Nation\, Class: Ambiguous Identities by Étienne B alibar and Immanuel Wallerstein—at a time when this sinister triad is on the rise again—a group of international theorists and activists wil l redefine the effects of their relations. \;

In 1988 Ba libar and Wallerstein wrote about the clear entanglements of racism with changing class relations and the historical formation of the nation sta te. The virulence of this utterly ambiguous relation can also be seen to day in the ongoing struggles over rights and political participation by migrants in Europe—as well as in the struggle over the mere possibilit y of migrating. In the course of global capitalism racist structures are becoming realigned\, not only in Europe\, and established class relatio ns are being fundamentally transformed. States in their form as nations are being confronted with forces of flight and circulation that seem to leave them obsolete: financialization\, digitization\, logistics\, int ernational governance\, or the global networking of legislative regimes.  \;

Along with Étienne Balibar and Immanuel Wallerstein the participants in this three-day symposium will venture to understand our present moment from a variety of perspectives. What are the importa nt questions and tasks needed to propose a society with more solidarity and justice?
