Antiracist Library and Information Science: Racial Justice and
Community presents the scholarship and insights of seasoned
academic researchers and experienced practitioners as well as
emerging scholars, graduate students, new professionals and
activists in the field of LIS on the topic of antiracism. The
chapters represent a combination of critical, scholarly and
reflective perspectives on the theory, practice and progress made
towards the actualization of antiracism in LIS and the creation of
racially just communities. This volume has been divided into three
main sections. The first section, 'Theoretical Groundings,'
addresses the philosophical, ontological, axiological, theoretical
and epistemological perspectives on race-based oppression, racial
justice and anti-racist values and ethics. The second section,
'Dimensions of the Problem of Race in LIS and Community,' presents
explorations of the specific problems of racism in LIS practice -
racism embedded in the tools and technologies of the profession and
its services, in social relations and in the practices of LIS
workplaces. The final section, 'Developing Antiracist LIS and
Creating the Beloved Community' presents practical solutions for
realizing the vision of an antiracist LIS and the creation of
racially justice communities. The contributors have provided a
response and initial solutions for how the LIS professions can meet
their espoused ideals for providing the best services for their
communities. This work provides scholarship, food for thought,
frameworks, and proposals for discussions for achieving the end of
racism in LIS and the creation of just world.
