First published in 1986, Racial Formation in the United States is now considered a classic in the literature on race and ethnicity. This second edition builds upon and updates Omi and Winant's groundbreaking research. In addition to a preface to the new edition, the book provides a more detailed account of the theory of racial formation processes. It includes material on the historical development of race, the question of racism, race-class-gender interrelationships, and everyday life. A final chapter updates the developments in American racial politics up to the present, focusing on such key events as the 1992 Presidential election, the Los Angeles riots, and the Clinton administration's racial politics and policies.

Editorial Reviews
Review
Authors Omi... and Winant... explore how concepts of race are created and changd. This scholarly must-read provides a conceptual structure within whihc we may deal with issues involving race..
–San Francisco Review of Books
[An] interesting and critical work . . . The authors assert that `the rearticulation of racial ideology' began in the 1970s and has reached its maturity in the 1980s. The sources for this rearticulation are the far right, the new right, and neoconservatism. How this new transformation will be contested `remains open.' A provocative book.
