The authors outline the components that make up a racial order and examine the specific mechanisms influencing group dynamics in the United States: immigration, multiracialism, genomic science, and generational change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCumulatively, these mechanisms increase heterogeneity within each racial or ethnic group, and decrease the distance separating groups from each other. The authors show that individuals are moving across group boundaries, that genomic science is challenging the whole concept of race, and that economic variation within groups is increasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAbove all, young adults understand and practice race differently from their elders: their formative memories are 9\/11, Hurricane Katrina, and Obama's election—not civil rights marches, riots, or the early stages of immigration. Blockages could stymie or distort these changes, however, so the authors point to essential policy and political choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePortraying a vision, not of a postracial America, but of a different racial America, \u003cem\u003eCreating a New Racial Order\u003c\/em\u003e examines how the structures of race and ethnicity are altering a nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46848860356844,"sku":"9780691160931","price":56.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1596453482434.jpg?v=1759001208"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/vesla-m-weaver.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
