    Politischer Antirassismus

      Political anti-racism

      Political anti-racism differs from other concepts of racism (psychologizing/moralizing approaches) in terms of both analysis and strategy. Instead of being understood as an individual phenomenon or shortcoming (as the result of primal anxieties or the degradation suffered by the losers in the modernization process, example), racism is analysed as a structure that defines hegemonic power relations, discourses and practices. And in terms of strategy, political anti-racism focuses less on well-meaning advocacy for the victims of racism than on revealing racist structures on all levels of society, and empowering the marginalized and discriminated against to act for themselves, particularly in the education context.
