Racism in academia: The white superiority supposition in the "unbiased" search for knowledge

Abstract

I consider the issue of racism in academia. Mason, Myers, and Darity's findings of racial bias against economic journals controlled by Black scholars and increasing acceptance of racial deficiency theories support the allegations of Black scholars that academic publishing is racially biased, and that there is a significant amount of racial discrimination in the labor market generally and academia specifically. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
