Racialization and The Forces Behind It

Helena J.

This factsheet explains what racialization is, how racialization and organized exclusions are produced and how power lies in the background of it all. The factsheet provides a historical example of how racialization and organized exclusions play out to denaturalize assumptions about 'race' and to emphasize the importance of assigning responsibility to those who have done harm.
