The concept of global racism provides a theoretical base on which to examin e the everyday and the global and historical, and spatial connections and i s integral to the conceptualization of antiracism and antiracist praxis. By examining the expansion of; perpetuation of; and struggle against global r acism, this article argues that antiracist action ties the everyday confron tation with racism to the global confrontation with racism, making each con frontation and everyday struggle against racism part of a global struggle a gainst global racism.
