Summary

The theoretical framework of this book is first of all defined in terms of sociocognitive discourse analysis of antiracism and antiracist discourse within the larger framework of a theory of social movements. In this case the movement is both global and historical and hence rather a macromovement. Different from other studies of social movements, this book focused on discourse and cognition and their history. Antiracism is defined as a movement of resistance and solidarity. After a summary of a theory of antiracist social cognition (mental models, knowledge, attitudes and ideologies) antiracist practices in genersal antiracist discourse are defined - as well as their historical dimensions. A detailed literature summarizes earlier theory and research on antiracism, as well as a discussion of major issues in studies of antiracism - such as whether or not antiracism today is dominant or prevalent.
