“…Although some scholars acknowledge that there are overlaps between race and ethnicity as categories of practice (Wade 1997;Hooker 2012;Paschel 2013), others remain divided over whether it is useful to retain a distinction between race and ethnicity as categories of analysis. 1 In the Dominican Republic, retaining a strict distinction between race and ethnicity as categories of analysis is inappropriate.…”

“…A key anchor for me is sociological research on "racial knowledge" (Goldberg 1993). Here I have rested heavily on a subset of work on censuses and ethnoracial categorization (e.g., Choldin 1994, Rodríguez 2000, Paschel 2013, Morning 2011, Mora 2014, Loveman 2014. This research treats the meaning of ethnoracial categories neither as self-evident nor as static.…”

This short essay reflects on intellectual bridges that scholars have built, are building, and could build to connect critical sociologies of race and STS. Whereas much work in these respective fields have rarely intersected, greater exchange could help scholars better account for ways in which race shapes and stratifies contemporary societies. To this end, the essay begins with a recent example of bridgework-research on race and genetics. Next, I use my own research on ethnoracial statistics to describe how bridgework happening elsewhere can indirectly create openings for connections across the divide. Finally, I propose that research on the broader sociotechnical materiality of race and racial domination represents an important site for further bridgework. Keywords

“…“Racial socialization – or the process by which people learn the meaning of their race and racial status in a particular society – shapes the way we understand our identity as well as how race might affect social status, culture, and group history” (p. 19). What Blackness means in an African country like Ghana (Pierre, ) is different from what Blackness means in South American countries like Mexico (Jones, ), Colombia (Paschel, ), or Brazil (Loveman, ; Monk, ), different from what Blackness means in a Caribbean country like Jamaica (Thomas, ; Vickerman, ) or European countries like France (Fleming, ) or England (Bashi Treitler, ; Imoagene, ). Historian Winston James () reiterates these claims by pointing out how immigrants coming from countries that are majority Black—like those in some parts of Africa and the Caribbean—and where Blacks are regularly in positions of power socializes them differently than African Americans, who are a minority in a country where the power elite are White.…”
