Language, Power and the Global Majority
Manage episode 503225787 series 3248071
This episode looks at the growing use of the term “global majority” as a powerful alternative to “ethnic minority.” It challenges white-centered narratives by highlighting that people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Latin American, and Indigenous heritage make up most of the world’s population. By shifting our language, we shift our perspective, centering global communities of colour, reclaiming power, and resisting marginalisation. Words matter, and calling ourselves the global majority is a bold, empowering step toward decolonising identity and embracing solidarity.
