*Special Issue on “Racial Justice & Anti-Racist Practice” *
/Guest Editors: Jesica S. Ferńandez, Dominique Thomas & Geri L. Palmer/
The proliferation of racially charged incidents in the United States,
Europe and across the world (Dastagir, 2017; Harris & Bogel-Burroughs;
Politi, 2016), along with surmounting hate crimes against women,
immigrants, LGBTQ+ identified members, and ethnoreligious populations
such as Muslim and Jewish communities (Potok, 2017), have brought an
insurgence of social movements and grassroots mobilizing strategies
aimed at disrupting institutionalized racism. These efforts are
committed to deconstructing systems of oppression at the crux of
hegemonic power that maintains the status quo, including whiteness and
white supremacy.
In striving toward an anti-racist, decolonizing (Kendi, 2019;
Maldonado-Torres, 2017) and liberatory praxis (Martin-Baro, 1994; Fanon,
1963; Camp, 2004), theories and frameworks within and outside the
community psychology canon have informed the development of theory,
research, pedagogy and practice oriented toward racial justice at the
intersections of health, environmental and social justice. Encouraged by
these movements and efforts to reclaim ways of knowing, being, and
relationship building, as well as dignity, rights, land, and agency,
communities and groups resist and deconstruct white supremacy, creating
space in the current moment to reflect and consider the following
questions:
1. What is racial justice and what does it look like within (and
outside of) community psychology?
2. How is racial justice engaged and practiced among our communities?
3. To what extent, and in what ways, has the discipline advanced racial
justice and for whom?
With these questions in mind, we invite and encourage submissions by
authors that highlight these themes and respond to some of these questions.
Special issue guest editors include the Society for Community Research
and Action (SCRA) Council on Culture, Ethics and Racial Affairs (CERA)
chairing stream, Jesica Siham Ferńandez, Dominique Thomas and Geri
Palmer, with support and in collaboration with the Global Journal of
Community Psychology Practice (GJCPP). We invite papers for this special
issue on “Racial Justice and Anti-Racist Practice Within and Beyond US
Community Psychology.” Further, in aligning this special issue with
CERA’s mission and values and building on CERA’s featured chapter on
“Power and Oppression” in the Community Psychology online textbook
(Palmer, Ferńandez & Thomas et al., 2019) and an ongoing online
Diversity Toolkit with plans to request adoption by SCRA, we call upon
community psychologists and other professionals in allied disciplines to
submit their work.
In this special issue we seek to underscore the importance of racial
justice and anti-racist work. We aim to describe the implications of
anti-blackness, colorism and color blindness within community
psychology, and how the inability to engage and address these concepts
and their manifestations question the integrity and value of our
discipline, and harms the humanity, integrity and dignity of the peoples
and communities whose bodies are read in particular racialized
intersectional ways.
We are especially interested in featuring the work of practitioners,
emerging scholars, and scholar-activists of color, as well as those
whose institutional affiliations and positions are often
under-represented in the field, such as HBCU’s, HSI’s and community
colleges, as well as at other institutional spaces outside the
University. Our intent with the special issue is threefold:
1. To feature examples of community psychology practice that
demonstrate racial justice and anti-racist work within and beyond
the US context;
2. To highlight research, specifically studies that have participatory
action research (PAR) approaches, photovoice and other methodologies
that are inclusive to marginalized and Indigenous populations, and
that has been used to inform academia and practice; and
3. To expand and build upon community psychology (CP) theories by
integrating and making space for critical race theories and
perspectives outside of CP that attend to the racial formations, or
racialized structures of power and oppression.
The sociopolitical contexts and hegemonic discourses, characterized by a
rise in systemic violence rooted in white supremacy and racism, as well
as heightened racist nativism at the intersections of power and
difference, compel us as community psychologists to engage with the
present moment. As scholars, practitioners, educators and organizers,
within and outside academe, we question the presence of
institutionalized racism and whiteness within the spaces and places
wherein we and our communities are located, as well as wherein knowledge
is constructed and produced. We are turning the lens inward and outward
to consider and truly describe what racial justice is, and can be.
