Stuart Hall on the need to put forward an alternative political project, to think long-term instead of just the next election: “I'm talking about a whole conception of politics: the capacity to grasp in our political imagination the historical choices in front of us, today.”

Gail Lewis reflects on Stuart Hall's 1990 essay ‘Cultural Identity and Diaspora' and considers how different societal actors are responding to the current conjuncture, as part of our third Reading the Crisis event. Watch the conversation back in full: stuarthallfoundation.org/resource/readi…
