Resolver o problema da raça

This article sketches a neo-Bourdieusianframework for rethinking racial domination. It proposes that we need to historicize the notion of “race”;todislodge the United States from its Archimedean position; to forsake the logic of the trial; andto disaggregateethnoracial phenomena into the “elementary forms” of racial domination, categorization, discrimination, segregation, seclusion, and violence. This approach makes it possible to grasp “race” as a denegated modality of ethnicity and to uncoverhow a system of ethnoracialclassificationis mapped onto a system of ethnoracialstratification, that is, to grasp “race” as a particular modality of “group-making.”
