Document Summary
Hegemony: the ability of a group of people to hold power over social institutions and thus, to strongly influence the values, norms, ideas, expectations, worldview and behavior of the rest of society. Race: a symbolic category that is constructed according to specific social and historical contexts. Though loosely based on phenotype and/or ancestry, it is often misrecognized as a natural category. Racialization: imposing or ascribing race to human bodies, to place, to objects, or to behaviors. Racial ideology: ways for interpreting information about race; rules for thinking about race. Colorblindness: the idea that one doesn"t see and thus respond to people on the basis of their race (applies to institutions too) Racial code words: phrases or symbols that refer directly to racial themes but do not directly challenge popular democratic or egalitarian ideals . Seemingly race neutral words, phrases, or images.
