Arriving with each chapter radically restructured and rewritten by authors Michael Omi and Howard Winant, Racial Configuration in the United States upholds the original objective and vision, despite two decades passing since the Second Version and over thirty years since the initial publication. Omi and Winant illustrate the creation and transformation of concepts related to race, how they evolve into focal points of political contention, and their influence on identities and institutions. The continuous progression of the U.S. toward a predominantly nonwhite population, the ongoing erosion of the political accomplishments of the early post-World War II civil rights movement, the commencement of the ‘war on terror’ accompanied by Islamophobia, the emergence of a widespread immigrants rights initiative, the development of race/class/gender ‘intersectionality’ ideologies, and the election and re-election of a black President of the United States are among the numerous new racial scenarios now covered in Racial Configuration.
