“…' (pp. 26 -27) 1 An example of using the notion of population is seen in the human DNA research study called the International HapMap Project (see Takezawa, 2006). The guidelines of this project warn against equating geography and race and use such labels as YRI, JPT, CHB, and CEU to denote Yoruba in Ibadan, Nigeria; Japanese in Tokyo; Han Chinese in Beijing; and Utah residents with ancestry from northern and western Europe.…”

Race and TESOL: Introduction to Concepts and Theories

2006

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The field of teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) brings people from various racialized backgrounds together in teaching, learning, and research. The idea of race, racialization, and racism are inescapable topics that arise in the contact zones created by teaching English worldwide and thus are valid topics to explore in the field. Nonetheless, unlike our peer fields such as anthropology, education, and sociology, the field of TESOL has not sufficiently addressed the idea of race and related concepts. This special topic issue is one of the first attempts in our field to fill the gap. This introductory article will survey key concepts and theories defined and debated in various fields, including race, ethnicity, culture, racialization, racism, critical race theory, and critical White studies, to provide a foundation for future explorations.

“…I have discussed elsewhere the characteristics underpinning the idea of race (Takezawa 2006(Takezawa , 2011. To summarize: first, bodily and mental characteristics, both visible and invisible, such as perceived physical features, temperaments, and abilities are believed to be genealogically determined-"transmitted" from generation to generation mediated by bodies-thus they "cannot be (easily) changed."…”

The dominant contention in the sociology of racialization asserts race as a modern Western construction. However, we lack studies that juxtapose the experiences in the Trans-Atlantic with the Trans-Pacific.This article, by examining the social conditions experienced by Jews in Spain, the "Gypsies" in Romania, and the Kawaramono in Japan in the Middle Ages, claims that the racialization had already begun before European colonization. It points out a variety of parallel patterns of marginalization and racialization, including but not limited to, "monopolization" of economic activities, an ambiguous relationship with the ruling class, and the discourses of "privileges."My examination can contribute to understanding global trends of racism and the backlash against minoritized groups associated with the mythical discourses of "privileges" facing us all in the twenty-first century.

What are we comparing when we compare law and race across cultures? This was once an easier question to answer. If we take "races" to be real categories existing in the world, then we can compare "race relations" and "racial classifications" in different legal systems, and measure the impact of different legal systems on the salience of racial distinction and the level of racial hierarchy in a given society. That was the approach of the leading comparativist scholars at mid-century. Frank Tannenbaum and Carl Degler compared race relations in the United States and Latin America, drawing heavily on legal sources regarding racial definition, manumission of slaves, and marriage. 1 They were studying relations between "white people" and "Negroes," as well as the possibility of an intermediate class of "mulattoes." But once we understand race itself to be produced by relations of domination, through several powerful discourses of which law is one, we are up against a more formidable challenge. We must compare the interaction of two things-legal processes and ideologies of race-in systems in which neither is likely to have a stable or equivalent meaning. Because "law" is likewise no longer as clear-cut a category as it once was; in addition to the formal law of statute books and common law appellate
