Abstract

Race is a significant means through which individuals and groups relate to each other. A problematic instance of its significance is colonialism and all the destruction it brought with it. In this paper, I explore how knowledge about race and racism from settings that were erstwhile colonized can enrich current understandings and approaches to studying race and racism in social psychology. I advance the possibility of mutual learning and sharing of theoretical and methodological practices for researchers who examine race and racism in colonizing or settler‐colonial settings and those in erstwhile colonized settings. I do so by first, locating the centrality of Whiteness for the very development of race categories and the shaping of psychology as a discipline. Second, I discuss how race and racism are examined in (primarily) Euro‐American contexts, with a focus on engagement with Whiteness by Critical Race Psychologists and social constructionist researchers. Third, I outline alternative ways of engaging with race and race categories identified in erstwhile colonized places. I end with how this latter informs our understandings of race and racism, and possibilities for mutual learning.

殖民地 "中的种族主义:在种族主义社会心理学中重视种族流动性和种族化
种族是个人和群体相互联系的重要手段。殖民主义及其带来的一切破坏就是其重要意义的一个问题实例。在本文中,我将探讨从曾经的殖民地环境中获得的有关种族和种族主义的知识如何丰富当前社会心理学对种族和种族主义的理解和研究方法。我将为研究殖民化或定居殖民地环境中的种族和种族主义的研究人员和研究前殖民地环境中的种族和种族主义的研究人员提供相互学习和分享理论与方法实践的可能性。首先,我指出了白人对于种族类别的发展和心理学作为一门学科的形成所具有的核心作用。其次,我将讨论在(主要是)欧美背景下如何研究种族和种族主义,重点关注批判种族心理学家和社会建构主义研究者对白的参与。第三,我概述了在前殖民地识别种族和种族类别的其他方法。最后,我将介绍后者如何影响我们对种族和种族主义的理解,以及相互学习的可能性。
