Institutional racism is a complex and pervasive issue that has a profound impact on society. It explores the role of colonialism, truth, and knowledge in creating and maintaining institutional racism, and how these factors have facilitated the perpetration of racial discrimination and inequality. The book documents how the manipulation of truth and knowledge has created a perpetrator perspective of institutional racism, which maintains the illusion of equality and justice while concealing the breadth and depth of victimization.
Epistemicide, critical race theory, post-colonialism, white racial frames, white privilege, and insidious trauma are all concepts that are used to critique the discourses and mechanisms that sustain a perpetrator perspective of institutional racism. 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. These case studies demonstrate how contemporary processes of colonialism and epistemicide maintain and reinforce institutional racism, negatively impacting physical and mental health and contributing to cumulative trauma.
The book is of great interest to students and scholars of criminology, sociology, criminal justice, history, law, and politics, as well as anyone studying race, ethnicity, and racism, as well as anyone interested in learning about racism, structural inequality, and institutional racism.
