UNSETTLING RACE AND LANGUAGE: THE INTERPLAY OF IDENTITY, POWER, AND DISCRIMINATION

Аннотация

Language and race shape identity, power, and social hierarchies. While language can empower, it also fuels discrimination through linguistic profiling and accent bias. This paper explores the politics of language in racial discourse, the role of euphemisms, and the impact of language policies on racialized communities, highlighting language as both a tool of inclusion and exclusion.
