Why should we be concerned by internalised racism in global health?
Internalised racism constitutes an adoption of beliefs about one's inferiority, weaknesses or shortcomings as a function of racial hierarchy affecting one's identity and self-worth, thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Internalised racism stems from widely known and discussed institutional racial discrimination, which perpetuates epistemic injustice, social injustice and health inequities in global health. In this article, reflecting on our experiential knowledge from working on global health, we engage with relevant literature to (1) highlight the concepts associated with internalised racism, (2) explore the potential impacts of internalised racism on individuals, organisations and global health and (3) propose strategies to redress and mitigate its impact on global health practice.

BMJ Global Health is an online Open Access journal from BMJ that focuses on publishing high-quality peer-reviewed content pertinent to individuals engaged in global health, including policy makers, funders, researchers, clinicians, and frontline healthcare workers. The journal encompasses all facets of global health, with a special emphasis on submissions addressing underfunded areas such as non-communicable diseases (NCDs). It welcomes research across all study phases and designs, from study protocols to phase I trials to meta-analyses, including small or specialized studies. The journal also encourages opinionated discussions on controversial topics.
