Racialization or ethnicization is a sociological concept used to describe a political process of as ethnic or racial identities to a relationship, social practice, or group that did not identify itself as such,[1] or the infusion of race in a society's understanding of human behavior.[2] It models racial dominance as a process by which a dominant group "racializes" a dominated group.
We employ the term racialization to signify the extension of racial meaning to a previously racially unclassified relationship, social practice, or group.
