You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes
I will contribute to this article by fleshing out the main arguments and key conversations surrounding linguistic racism. This includes discussions of languages and discourses as they operate to create in-group and out-group dynamics, how certain languages or dialects are legitimized, etc. I aim to flesh out and add to the references regarding Jane H. Hill, who is canonically cited for her works in racializing languages and discourses within linguistic anthropology and Native American studies. I also believe the article can have a section on literature and linguistic racism as it involves text, as there are prominent sources by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o and Said that focus on imperialism and written language. There may also be compelling relevance to incorporating the writings of explorers and considering how the Other was constructed through essentializing linguistic discourses within the anthropological and other scientific disciplines as well.

A Brief Outline


 * 1) Defining linguistic racism and its main forms, elaborating on what was originally written, and the types of linguistic racism and the different communicative contexts it can pervade within.
 * 2) Briefly write a genealogy and summary of past discussions on linguistic racism, but if too robust, perhaps leave this section for last.
 * 3) Discuss linguistic racism in the context of literature and writing
 * 4) Discuss linguistic racism in the context of science and medicine, with the language used within academic contexts
