This chapter analyzes how power relations have shaped the confrontation between, on one hand, hegemonic state policies/discourses about diversity and integration and, on the other hand, radical Black and Roma anti-racist organizations in Spain and Portugal. We propose a theorization of the vampirizing of anti-racism as a transversal logic of construction and prevention of autonomous radical anti-racist movements, often understood by the political establishment as disruptive initiatives. This vampirizing logic fluctuates from the promotion of a “civil society” (read white political agenda), tailored to state policy approaches, to the making of anti-racism as a state identity by incorporating certain vocabularies (i.e. structural racism, intersectionality) and advancing processes of “participation” of anti-racist organizations in policy-making or legal reform. The dynamics under analysis are organized into the following periodization. (i) the decades 1980–2010 foregrounds the invisibilization of radical anti-racist demands and resistance practices within the institutionalization of “integration” public policies and bodies; (ii) the period 2010–2020 foregrounds the strengthening of Black, Roma and immigrant radical organizations that not only challenged hegemonic public policies and vocabularies, but confronted left/progressive politics about race and (anti-)racism.
