This introduction to the special issue, ‘Complicating Race: Articulating Race Across Multiple Social Dimensions’, situates the collection of articles with respect to the wider body of sociolinguistic and linguistic anthropological work on race in US contexts. The articles not only explode the myth of the ‘postracial’, but also seek to recast the relationship between language and race by demonstrating how race is inextricably bound with multiple, intersecting social dimensions and power relations.
