Institutional racism is a complex and pervasive issue that has deep roots in colonialism, truth, and knowledge. It explores how these factors have been used to create and maintain a perpetrator perspective of institutional racism, which perpetuates the illusion of equality and justice while concealing the breadth and depth of victimization. The book delves into various concepts such as epistemicide, critical race theory, post-colonialism, white racial frames, white privilege, and insidious trauma to critique the discourses and mechanisms that sustain this perspective.
The first half of the book provides a comprehensive understanding of how these concepts can be used to critique institutional racism and promote a victim perspective. It highlights the cumulative psychological and physical harms of institutional racism and documents the ways in which it contributes to cumulative trauma. The second half of the book offers grounded case studies of institutional racism in education, policing, the war on terror, and COVID-19 to demonstrate how contemporary processes of colonialism and epistemicide maintain and reinforce institutional racism.
This book is of immense interest to students and scholars in criminology, sociology, criminal justice, history, law, and politics, as well as those studying race, ethnicity, and racism. It provides valuable insights into the mechanisms of institutional racism and offers practical strategies for addressing and dismantling it. By exploring the role of colonialism, truth, and knowledge in perpetuating institutional racism, this book contributes to our understanding of this critical issue and helps us work towards a more just and equitable society.
