Institutional Racism : Colonialism, Epistemic Injustice and Cumulative Trauma

"O Racismo Institucional investiga os fatores que criaram e mantêm o racismo institucional através da exploração do papel do epistemicídio, das molduras brancas e do privilégio branco na sustentação do status ilusório de igualdade e justiça em uma perspectiva perpetradora do racismo institucional. O livro usa a teoria racial crítica, pós-colonialismo e trauma insidioso para revelar uma perspectiva de vítima que documenta os danos psicológicos e físicos cumulativos do racismo institucional. Os capítulos apresentam uma compreensão dos fatores que criaram o racismo institucional através da exploração do papel do colonialismo na criação do racismo institucional e na construção da verdade e do conhecimento na promoção do epistemicídio para manter uma perspectiva perpetradora do racismo institucional, demonstração de como o epistemicídio e o colonialismo facilitaram a existência do privilégio branco, e molduras brancas para criar os mecanismos que sustentam o racismo institucional. O livro estuda como o epistemicídio, a teoria racial crítica, o pós-colonialismo, e o trauma insidioso pode ser usado para revelar o estatuto ilusório da igualdade e da justiça numa perspectiva de perpetrador do racismo institucional e avançar em direção a uma perspectiva de vítima do racismo institucional que documenta os danos psicológicos e físicos cumulativos do racismo institucional. Este livro será de grande interesse para estudantes de nível superior e estudiosos de criminologia, sociologia, justiça criminal, história, direito e política, particularmente aqueles que estudam em cursos relacionados a raça, etnia e teoria"-- Institutional Racism explores the role of colonialism, truth, and knowledge in creating and maintaining institutional racism. It documents how the manipulation of truth and knowledge facilitated colonialism and epistemicide to create a perpetrator perspective of institutional racism that maintains the illusionary status of equality and justice and continues to conceal the breadth and depth of victimisation. The chapters present an understanding of how epistemicide, critical race theory, post-colonialism, white racial frames, white privilege, and insidious trauma can be used to critique the discourses and mechanisms that sustain a perpetrator perspective of institutional racism and how these concepts facilitate a victim perspective of institutional racism that documents the cumulative psychological and physical harms of institutional racism. The second half of the book provides grounded case studies of institutional racism in the areas of education, policing, the war on terror, and Covid 19 to demonstrate how contemporary processes of colonialism and epistemicide maintain and reinforce institutional racism to negatively impact physical and mental health and contribute to cumulative trauma. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, criminal justice, history, law, and politics, and those studying race, ethnicity, and racism, as well as anyone interested in learning about racism, structural inequality, and institutional racism.
