Racial discrimination must be modeled as dynamic and transgenerational

Evidence

Indeed, the experience of racial discrimination should be conceptualized as a dynamic process that operates across time, across domains and even across generations (Bécares et al. 2015), and consequently as having cumulative effects on health. Studies that do not take this into account are likely to underestimate the overall impact of racial discrimination on the health of individuals. — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 320

Categorization

• XREF: This is the definitional move the reader is tracking: racism as a dynamic, cumulative, transgenerational process — directly opposed to Bleich’s static ‘negative attitudes’ concept-formation and aligned with the Runnymede racialization turn. — connects to: Race and class must be analyzed as articulated, not causally reduced; Racial discrimination produces measurable biological and physiological damage — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia: Still a Challenge for Us…, 317; Present racial conflicts must be taught as outcomes of a long dynamic history. — James D. Kirylo (ed.), Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed:…, 486
• DEEPTHINKING: The claim that static measurement systematically underestimates the harm is a definitional stakes argument: how you define racism determines what damage you can even see. Strong analytic contribution.
