Abstract

Social psychological research on race and racism has shown that claims about racism are not always accepted or received as valid reports. In this paper, I offer racial epistemics as one mechanism by which race-talk takes place. I examine how ascribing category-bound entitlements to experiential or other knowledge about racism is variously realised and complicated in the production of claims about racism. Through examining news media accounts where Black persons were invited to talk about their experiences of racism in India, I show that despite ascribing a privileged epistemic position to Black persons, recipients (interviewers and other panellists) could make salient epistemic entitlements to commonsense, specialised, or other forms of (racial) knowledge in collaboratively establishing, confirming or correcting, and challenging claims about racism in India. The findings are discussed in relation to the broader understanding of racism in social psychology. The data are in Indian English.

“他们就那样攻击你”：在提出种族主义主张时就种族认识论进行谈判。

关于种族和种族主义的社会心理学研究表明，关于种族主义的主张并不总是被接受或被视为有效的报告。在本文中，我提出种族认识论作为种族谈话发生的一种机制。我研究了在种族主义主张的产生过程中，将类别限定的权利归因于经验或其他关于种族主义的知识是如何以不同的方式实现和复杂的。通过检查新闻媒体报道，黑人被邀请谈论他们在印度的种族主义经历，我表明，尽管赋予黑人特权的认知地位，接受者（采访者和其他小组成员）可以在共同建立、确认或纠正和挑战关于印度种族主义的主张时，对常识、专业或其他形式的（种族）知识做出显著的认知权利。这些发现与社会心理学中对种族主义的更广泛理解有关。数据是用印度英语写的。

It publishes original papers in all areas of social psychology including: • social cognition • attitudes • group processes • social influence • intergroup relations • self and identity • nonverbal communication • social psychological aspects of personality, affect and emotion • language and discourse Submissions addressing these topics from a variety of approaches and methods, both quantitative and qualitative are welcomed. We publish papers of the following kinds: • empirical papers that address theoretical issues; • theoretical papers, including analyses of existing social psychological theories and presentations of theoretical innovations, extensions, or integrations; • review papers that provide an evaluation of work within a given area of social psychology and that present proposals for further research in that area; • methodological papers concerning issues that are particularly relevant to a wide range of social psychologists; • an invited agenda article as the first article in the first part of every volume. The editorial team aims to handle papers as efficiently as possible. In 2016, papers were triaged within less than a week, and the average turnaround time from receipt of the manuscript to first decision sent back to the authors was 47 days.
