Description

Racial Domination by Loïc Wacquant is a thought-provoking analysis of the concept of race and its impact on society. Drawing on comparative and historical research from around the world, Wacquant challenges common notions of racial inequality and offers a nuanced understanding of how power operates.

Wacquant's work begins by reframing our understanding of race-making as a form of symbolic violence, before developing novel concepts to rethink the relationship between racial classification and stratification. He critiques popular ideas such as "structural racism" and "racial capitalism", arguing that they are often ambiguous and hinder efforts to address racial inequality.

The book goes on to examine two key institutions of ethnoracial rule in America: Jim Crow and the prison system. By applying his conceptual framework, Wacquant provides a detailed critique of these systems and their impact on racial domination.
