Racial Formation in the United States
Abstract
Concepts of race prove to be unreliable as supposed boundaries shift, slippages occur, realignments become evident, and new collectivities emerge. State-imposed classifications of race, for example, face continuing challenges by individuals and groups who seek to assert distinctive racial categories and identities. It is now widely accepted in most scholarly fields that race is a social construction. Restrictive access to economic opportunities and resources, and genocide, the precise definition and significance of racism has been subject to enormous debate. With the foregoing account of racial formation in mind, the authors must turn their attention to the problem of racism. The concept of racial projects can be understood and applied across historical time to identify patterns in the longue duree of racial formation, both nationally and the entire modern world.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
