Turning to object relations psychoanalysis and Black critical theory, I argue that the violence of racialization works in and through clinical and national settings. The setting is theorized in terms ...of its phantasmatic and phantomatic dimensions: The former refers to phantasies that ensnare certain bodies in a mythologized past, while the latter refers to the irreducibly material histories that those phantasies fail to ensnare (i.e., the phantom world). The case of a Confederate statue's proposed removal is used to illustrate the tension between phantasm/phantom at a national level, while Searles's writings demonstrate the interplay of phantasm/phantom in a clinical context.
Popular beliefs about the nonprofit sector suggest it as a place devoted to the public good on behalf of disadvantaged individuals and groups. This dominant view implies an organization’s success or ...failure as the result of individual decision-making, capacity issues, or inability to behave like successful organizations. This fuels a view of the sector as race-neutral where all organizations encounter the same challenges and in the same ways. In this article, I use interview data from a 2-year qualitative study of Black-led organizations in Madison, Wisconsin to examine how Black-led organizations perceive racialization in the sector and its impact on their work. Findings suggest that Black-led organizations perceive racialization in the sector across key areas understood as central to an organization’s operation: leadership, funding, data, collaboration, and volunteering. I conclude by calling for a more robust theory of racialization in the nonprofit sector that might vary by place.
In this brief commentary on Butler's description of ruptures and violences of setting, so dense with possibilities for debate and elaboration, four central themes are explored: a rumination on the ...word "visceral," suggesting that nonbelonging is never a ghostly experience; "plucking up a protest," and the paradox of needing for a place of belonging before protest is possible; the bewildering multiplicity of ghosts in protest movements; and how we think of belonging in a clinical setting.
Abstract
Scholars have found that privileged, white individuals in integrated neighborhoods construct narratives that people of color (POC) have relationships with pets that are culturally different ...and morally questionable. They use these narratives to justify surveilling, punishing, and excluding their POC neighbors. How do privileged white people come up with the pet-related narratives they use as part of racialization processes? The dual purposes in this paper are to identify the constitutive elements of the intensive pet parenting ideology and show how individuals rely on this ideology to construct pet-related, racialized narratives. I extend the current discussion about the use of pet-related, racialized narratives by taking a closer look at the white-dominated veterinary profession. I conducted 44 in-depth interviews with a racially-diverse group of employed veterinarians and veterinary college students to determine if and how they rely on the intensive pet parenting ideology to explain a broad racial/ethnic process such as occupational segregation. Respondents proposed that POC cultures do not promote a self-sacrificing love for common pet species that would engender a passion for veterinary medicine within individuals of color. In this manner, they drew on the intensive pet parenting ideology to both racialize people and naturalize POC exclusion from the veterinary profession.
The aim of this paper is to explore urban racialization as a process that emerges in specific places of the city. Using the publicly accessible Google Maps and Google Street View imagery of Lisbon ...Metropolitan Area, I conduct a fine-grained analysis of the urban and architectural forms through which race materialises in a central historical square, in a few peripheral social housing areas and in some informal urban gardens. Inscribed in the wider Black European framework, Black Lisbon is here intended as a provocation more than a label, and the concept of blackness is adopted as a visible tracker of micro-scale mechanisms of racialization as well as resistance to them. Considering the complex spatial dynamic that results and that encompasses different forms of omissions, displacements, replacements and place-makings, I argue that certain buildings, settings, bodies presence, urban spots and gardens arise as critical elements of the (still disregarded) compilation of non-white European architectures.
In this article, we apply developments from the affective turn—in particular, the concept of assemblages—to understand the relationship between race, affect, and emotions. We use the example of a ...Black CEO unsuccessfully hailing a taxi to show how race materializes with different intensities in specific settings, and how this operates in assemblage theory. We show that the emotion of “fear” plays a particularly important role in conditioning the way that race materializes with precise capacities in this specific encounter. In this way, race emerges as a particular version of race through the relational processes at work among the other elements of the assemblage, and the affects that emerge in the encounter—one of them, eventually, being fear. With regard to the affective turn, only some of those other elements are linked to a representational economy, while others work outside processes of cognition through their bare materiality, or their nonconscious habituation. We also highlight the productive power of discourse and hegemony in determining the outcome of assemblages. Because of America’s history, the CEO’s skin color is an especially pertinent component of the assemblage that limits his ability to act upon other components of the scene, most obviously his ability to achieve a desired action: hailing a cab.

Racism constitutes a barrier towards achieving equitable healthcare as documented in research showing unequal processes of delivering, accessing, and receiving healthcare across countries and ...healthcare indicators. This review summarizes studies examining how racism is discussed and produced in the process of delivering, accessing and receiving healthcare across various national contexts.
The PRISMA guidelines for scoping reviews were followed and databases were searched for peer reviewed empirical articles in English across national contexts. No starting date limitation was applied for this review. The end date was December 1, 2020. The review scoped 213 articles. The results were summarized, coded and thematically categorized in regards to the aim.
The review yielded the following categories: healthcare users' experiences of racism in healthcare; healthcare staff's experiences of racism; healthcare staff's racial attitudes and beliefs; effects of racism in healthcare on various treatment choices; healthcare staff's reflections on racism in healthcare and; antiracist training in healthcare. Racialized minorities experience inadequate healthcare and being dismissed in healthcare interactions. Experiences of racism are associated with lack of trust and delay in seeking healthcare. Racialized minority healthcare staff experience racism in their workplace from healthcare users and colleagues and lack of organizational support in managing racism. Research on healthcare staff's racial attitudes and beliefs demonstrate a range of negative stereotypes regarding racialized minority healthcare users who are viewed as difficult. Research on implicit racial bias illustrates that healthcare staff exhibit racial bias in favor of majority group. Healthcare staff's racial bias may influence medical decisions negatively. Studies examining healthcare staff's reflections on racism and antiracist training show that healthcare staff tend to construct healthcare as impartial and that healthcare staff do not readily discuss racism in their workplace.
The USA dominates the research. It is imperative that research covers other geo-political contexts. Research on racism in healthcare is mainly descriptive, atheoretical, uses racial categories uncritically and tends to ignore racialization processes making it difficult to conceptualize racism. Sociological research on racism could inform research on racism as it theoretically explains racism's structural embeddedness, which could aid in tackling racism to provide good quality care.

Chinese residents have grown to be one of the most prosperous migrant groups in Italy since their mass migration from China in the 1980s. Alongside their rapid upward economic mobility, parents and ...children within the same families have shown generational differences in their understandings of the good life. While older generations believed that the good life means economic mobility, which is achieved through their labour and migration, younger generations’ definition of the good life, rooted in their negative experiences of racialization, is associated with social recognition. Such generational differences stem from the shifting tensions between the contested racial and national orders in association with Italy’s economic stagnation and China’s global ascendancy. Yet, both generations of these desiring subjects have manifested their own conceptions of cosmopolitan Chinese-ness to survive precarity and to aspire to a better life both economically and socially. Their family stories thus contribute to anthropological debates on how people envision their futures between hope and precarity, expectation and uncertainty, and privilege and disadvantages amid racialized class terrains, generational tensions, and geopolitical transformation of the world order.
The "Mongolian Fringe" extending from India's Northwest Himalayas to the hill regions of the Northeast frontier, was conceptualized by British authorities as a site of geopolitical and racial anxiety ...given its proximity to China and Southeast Asia. Suspicion and anxiety continue to inform the relationship between the Indian state and its northern frontier territories. Drawing on a collaborative research project with college students from Ladakh in the Northwest Himalayas, we argue that racialization offers a crucial yet underutilized framework with which to understand contemporary tribal identity in India. Building on critical theorizations of race and indigeneity, we demonstrate how racism functions for those at the intersections of race, tribe, and nation in postcolonial India, and the broader functioning of racialization as a process both global and contextually specific that is inflected by movement: of colonizing forces, of state projects, but also of young people between home and away.
In an effort to move beyond reproductions of racializations in leisure studies and anti-racialism, this specific call for anti-racist inquiry reflects an urgent need for critical dialogue on issues ...of race reflective of intersectional so-called Canadian subjectivities. The purpose of this special issue was to develop a collection of papers that respond to the calls and discuss race/racism/racialization as it is held in tension with leisure and from a 'canadian' perspective, location, and/or consciousness.
