*C**ALL FOR PAPERS DEADLINE: 16 SEPTEMBER 2019*
Despite the bulk of work that has established ‘race’ as socially
constructed, ‘race’ remains significant in the everyday lives of migrants,
whether it is imposed upon them or has become a form of boundary-marking
amongst them. While studies on new racism against immigrants is growing and
challenging the white-Others binary, many are still focused on white people
racializing others. Such studies over-racialize select groups of non-whites
including Asians while ignoring racialization and racism by Asians and
among Asians. Consequently, there has been a dearth of literature on issues
of racialization and racism in non-white settings.
This workshop is interested to move studies of race and migration away from
(skin) colour as well as the ‘West’. It suggests that a more nuanced
understanding of the global, context-specific processes of racialization
and new racisms can be gained by treating the dominant ‘Western’
experiences of racialization and racism as reference points rather than
paradigms. To extend existing theories about race, ethnicity, new racism
and migration, this workshop calls for papers that examine the
racialization of migrants beyond skin colour and/or in regions other than
Europe and North America, including papers looking at Asian
racialization/racisms and co-ethnic racialization/racism. It is especially
interested in work that considers intersectional dynamics such as gender,
class, nationality and sexuality and/or postcolonial dynamics. Questions to
be addressed include but are not limited to the following:
- How can our understandings of race and migration be sharpened through
an analytical focus on racialization and racisms beyond the white-others
binary?
- How can empirical cases of racialization and racisms in
non-white-majority settings extend understandings of race and migration?
- How can the ‘invisibility’ of new racism such as between co-ethnics be
analysed?
- How are migrants’ mobility implicated as difference in
racialization/racism discourses?
- What new concepts and methods are needed to deepen understandings of
race and migration?
- Why are some migrants racialized more than others?
- How do migrants resist racialization/racism? Do they racialize other
migrants?
- How do racialization/racism discourses relate to the postcolonial
condition, modernity and/or globalization?
