Abstract

The critical race theory concept of ‘White supremacy’ continues to be a major locus of disagreement between Critical Race Theorists and Marxists regarding both how it operates as a general descriptor of racial power dynamics in the Western world and for its explanatory power in accounting for the multiple forms in which racism manifests. Criticisms of the concept of ‘White supremacy’ from Marxists often point to racisms that exist beyond the Black/White binary, or racism directed at minoritised White groups as counterexamples to explanations of racism that appeal to ‘White supremacy’. Marxists also often point to alternative theoretical constructs such as ‘institutional racism’ and ‘racialisation’ as better descriptions for, and explanations of, racism and the mechanisms that serve in its creation and perpetuation. However, examples of racisms that exist outside of a Black/White binary, or which appeal to the existence of racism directed at people identified as White, do not discredit ‘White supremacy’ as a descriptor or explanation of racism and can easily be accommodated within a framework for understanding racism that is consistent with both critical race theory and Marxism. Moreover, constructs such as ‘racialisation’ and ‘institutional racism’ do not have the theoretical utility of ‘White supremacy’ as characterised within critical race theory .

批判种族理论马克思主义的序言
“白人至上主义”的批判性种族理论概念仍然是批判性种族理论家和马克思主义者之间分歧的主要根源,无论是关于它如何作为西方世界种族权力动态的一般描述符运作,还是关于它在解释种族主义表现的多种形式方面的解释力。马克思主义者对“白人至上主义”概念的批评往往指向存在于黑人/白人二元之外的种族主义,或针对少数族裔白人群体的种族主义作为吸引“白人至上”的种族主义解释的反例。马克思主义者还经常指出,“制度性种族主义”和“种族化”等另类理论结构是对种族主义及其产生和延续机制的更好描述和解释。然而,存在于黑人/白人二元体系之外的种族主义例子,或呼吁存在针对白人的种族主义的例子,并不能抹黑“白人至上主义”作为种族主义的描述或解释,而且可以很容易地在理解种族主义的框架内进行处理,该框架符合批判性种族理论和马克思主义。此外,“种族化”和“制度性种族主义”等概念并不具有批判性种族理论中所描述的“白人至上主义”的理论效用。
