Race

E. Tendayi Achiume

Chapter 3 in Research Handbook on Third World Approaches to International Law (TWAIL), 2025, pp 23-33 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Through diverse means, TWAIL scholars have challenged the orthodoxy of mainstream international law praxis and scholarship, which largely marginalizes the salience of race and racism in structuring international law and international relations. TWAILers have produced a rich and varied body of scholarship on race and international law that names, interrogates and resists this “racial aphasia,” in some instances connecting it to the historical and ongoing exclusion of racially marginalized scholars from the professional and academic institutions of the field of international law. Distinctively, TWAIL race scholarship calls attention to and articulates the historical intimacy among race, imperialism and law, and engages with the contemporary manifestations and significance of their entanglement. This scholarship exceeds the bounds of international human rights law, making plain the relevance and urgency of race-conscious analysis across the myriad fields of international law.
