This volume aims to explore some of the practices conflicts negotiations and struggles at the
interplay of bioethics and racism. This requires shedding light on the hegemonic power
relationships that condemn some population groups to a condition of subjugation suffering and
oppression. By unpacking notions that have been taken for granted and dismantling rhetorics
that are veiled in discourses and rationales pertaining to race and racism we highlight
possible ways in which bioethics can operate across disciplinary boundaries and strengthen its
connection with equity and social justice which also entails striving for a bioethics in
action.
