The Global Majority

In this episode, Jamie and Jenna discuss the term Global Majority and the rationale behind its utilization in our anti-capitalism efforts. According to Wikipedia, the term 'global majority' refers to ethnic groups that constitute approximately 85 percent of the global population. It has been used as an alternative to terms which are seen as racialized like "ethnic minority" and "person of colour" (POC), or more regional terms like "visible minority" in Canada and "Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic" (BAME) in the United Kingdom. The term was first used in 2003 as a way to challenge the Eurocentric perspective. The term was again brought forward by Rosemary Campbell-Stephens, a black woman of African Caribbean descent and heritage, specifically, Jamaican parentage and educator in the UK, who wrote in her paper, Global Majority; Decolonizing the language and Reframing the Conversation about Race.
