Format: Hardcover
Disclaimer: The title stopped me short the moment I saw it: “Creating A New Racial Order”. I have never recovered. Therefore this first view in 496 words does only two things: 1) Tells you what you can learn from the heart of this book, 2) Asks you to reflect on the title very carefully and make yourself heard.

The authors (p. 13): “Our central focus, however, is (on) the four transformative forces:” Immigration, Multiracialism, Genomics, Cohort Change (Ch. 2-5). These four chapters constitute the heart of the book and every reader can learn much about the extraordinary changes that have taken place in the United States in the decades since 1965 (p. 22). I would recommend this to anyone looking in from outside to learn of an America in transformation. Consider Ch. 2 introduced by: “Immigration is destabilizing and changing all five components of the American racial order” and then study fig. 2.2 to compare the percentages of immigrants classified by geographic region of origin, to see the dramatic change between the time when my Swedish forebears came (1880) to America and the time when I left (1996). Read this and the other core chapters carefully even if you read nothing more. You will be driven to raise question after question and also learn that they pose one question repeatedly, the same in every chapter, without ever being able to answer that question. The question: What is a race? Is it out of place for me to ask, if you the authors find yourselves totally unable to answer that question, then what are we to make of your commitment to “race”? This leads us to the title.

That first day, I could not get beyond reading the title. Why? Think back to the beginnings of these racial orders: South African, Swedish Institute of Race Biology 1922, USA 1790, and Adolf Hitler’s.
