This article seeks to draw on Frantz Fanon’s contributions for language studies in order to understand how language can be set as a zone of non-being for black people. Empirically, I will look at the situation of black teachers working in English language teaching (ELT). As black teachers are minority in ELT, racism makes these professionals be portrayed like incompetent, confused with teachers of history or mistreated in teacher education. This showcases how theses teachers are impacted by a linguistic racism in their career. Besides these data from research, this article binds the Fanonian remarks on zone of non-being to linguistic racism, linguicide and raciolinguistics analyses, positioning, as such, a black push from the south of global south.
