Routledge - Racial Formation in the United States Book

Racial Formation in the United States by Routledge offers a profound exploration of how racial concepts are created and transformed. In this updated edition, authors Michael Omi and Howard Winant provide a radically revised and rewritten account of the sociological processes that shape our world. This classic text examines how race becomes a central focus of political conflict and how it permeates both individual identities and major social institutions. As the United States undergoes significant demographic shifts, this work provides essential context for understanding the social and political landscape. Omi and Winant's vision remains a cornerstone for students and scholars of anthropology and sociology, offering a deep look at the structures that define American life. This edition serves as a vital resource for anyone studying the historical and ongoing evolution of race in the United States.
