White Publishing Industry
Overview
While the publishing field is viewed as a liberal and inclusive industry, the continuing dominance of whites within this field has shattered such an idea, showing the realities within this industry. From employees to authors, all aspects of the publishing field are affected by this conflict, making the supposed inclusive publishing industry an exclusive one that is only for a select few.
Defintion
The white publishing industry can be defined as the dominance of whites within this industry, leading to limitations and mistreatment of others. The term white liberal racism also falls under this term. White liberal racism involves the "unconscious bias" in which there is a false sense of empathy that is presented to people of color within the publishing industry.[1]
