Section 1 made the point that attributing fixed ‘differences? to particular groups can be seen as an exercise of power, by which certain people are defined as ‘other?, and usually as inferior. ‘Racialisation? can be described as the process by which people are defined according to apparent differences of skin colour, national origin or other attributes, and positioned as different from the (usually white) majority.
