This article sketches a neo-Bourdieusian framework for rethinking racial domination. It proposes that we need to historicize the notion of “race”; to dislodge the United States from its Archimedean position; to forsake the logic of the trial. This approach makes it possible to grasp “race” as a denegated modality of ethnicity and to uncover how a system of ethnoracial classification is mapped onto a system of ethnoracial stratification, that is, to grasp “race” as a particular modality of “group-making.”
