• TITLE: Racial Hierarchy and the Global Black Experience of Racism

  AUTHORS: Hyacinth Udah

  KEYWORDS: Black Africans, Racial Hierarchy, White Privilege, Racism

  JOURNAL NAME: Open Journal of Social Sciences, Vol.5 No.3, March 17, 2017

  ABSTRACT: This article aims to raise awareness on the life conditions of black people in Australia and beyond, and to renew public interest and discussion on how racial inferiority discourses, beliefs, and stereotypes about black people acquired and disseminated generations ago during colonialism together with institutional racism continue to limit their life opportunities and push them to the margins of the society. Therefore, this article explores racial hierarchy, white privilege and the socioeconomic challenges faced by black people. It does this by discussing how structures of inequality generated by the concept of race and its use in racialization continue to impact on the global black experience and condition. The article argues that racial inequality is perpetuated, especially, when racism codified in the institutions of everyday life is not acknowledged.
