Document Summary
The focus is the ancestry of the people. People with a common ancestry identity with a specific ethnic group. Where it differs is that it"s premised upon the position that culture of the group does not disappear. Critical meaning that it doesn"t look at race as something that is hierarchal (no race is better than the other. ) Instead of analyzing a group based by culture, they examine people based on the economy and it"s interaction with race. It puts race at the center of analogies because everyone belongs to a race. Racial formation argues that every generation has its own view on race and has it"s on own racial philosophy. Sometimes it adopts previous views, but sometimes it completely rejects the previous views. It"s connected economically, by ideas, and by migration: neoliberalism is the form of government adopted since the 1980s. Idea that government has less control over market trading.
