More about the book
The book explores the challenges social scientists face in conceptualizing race, highlighting the diminishing relevance of traditional race concepts in sociology. It critiques existing frameworks and proposes a realist approach to understanding race and researching racism and discrimination. By examining postwar migration to the UK and transracial adoption debates in the UK and USA, the author illustrates how this new perspective can radically transform discussions about race concepts and empirical research in social science.
