Language and social interaction scholars have increasingly explored the consequentiality of language use for the production and reproduction of race, racialization, and racism. This timely book proposes a race talk framework that enables researchers to explore how people treat race as an ongoing issue through language use in institutional settings. The chapters introduce key concepts, debates, and illustrative race talk studies using Ethnomethodology, Conversation Analysis, Membership Categorization Analysis, Discursive Psychology, Identity-Implicative Discourse Analysis, and Critical Discourse Approaches. They highlight the benefits, challenges, and epistemic politics involved in race talk research. By synthesizing disconnected literature, this book charts an emerging subfield of LSI race talk research, methodological tensions, and proposes future directions for race talk research and inclusive community building.
