Title: Unifying Sociological Race Theories

Abstract: 

Among contemporary race theories in sociology, four currently enjoy prominence: racial formation theories, relational race theories, theories of structural racism, and theories of systemic racism. While these theories are sometimes treated as competitors, I will argue that this is largely mistaken. Instead, I argue that these ‘theories’ are more profitably understood as models that are unified by a more general theoretical framework. After presenting and defending this framework, I discuss some of its philosophical and sociological consequences.
