Racism and Discourse

Abstract In this entry on racism and discourse, we will first present a brief overview of studies on racism in discourse, that is, the attempt to uncover and locate racism in texts, utterances, and interactions as a way of combating racism. In the next step, we will address the epistemological phenomenon we term racism as discourse, that is, the racist conditions of discursive production that erase non‐White forms of knowledge, knowledge production, and producers. It is therefore this shift from the individual (text, speaker) to the structural (discourse, epistemology) that we aim to discuss.
