ABSTRACT
This chapter leverages philosophical inquiry as an entry point for discussing and critiquing dominant thinking in nursing about issues of race and racism. In Part I, the authors (Annette J Browne, Colleen Varcoe, Lydia Wytenbroek, Ismalia De Sousa and Chloe Crosschild) provide an analysis of the deeply ingrained structures and mechanisms underlying thinking about race and racism in nursing. The value of drawing on subaltern perspectives and angles of inquiry to illuminate and unseat structural influences on thinking about race and racism is demonstrated. In Part II, the authors highlight how Chicana and Black feminist theorizing, and Indigenous knowledges can create new possibilities for nursing philosophizing, theory and knowledge.
