Document Summary
Necessity of a settler colonialism framework for historically grounded and inclusive analysis of us race and gender formation. Avoid seeing racisms affecting various groups as completely separate and unrelated. Intersectional perspective, recognizes gender, sexuality, and race as co-constituted by settler colonial projects. American sociologists developed ethnicity to refer to relations marked by cultural and language difference and race marked by supposed somatically visible difference. Study of ethnic relations focuses on intraracial relations. Study of race focused on interracial group relations and inequality between and among groups marked as white and black. Race scholars shifting attention to racism affecting other groups: latinos, asians, and native. Cluster them into "non-whites" "people of color," etc. Focus on common process by which groups are formed and reformed as racial groups. Retain white-black poles as anchors of hierarchical us racial system but to expand it to include other racialized groups (fluidity and hybridity of racial identities; self-identification changes over time)
