Emphasis is on the multiple modalities and dimensions of racialization--race making, remaking, and attempts at unmaking—in different parts of the world. The central question asked is how racialized hierarchies, disparities, marked and unmarked identities, and the multi-scalar patterns of discrimination, aggression, and violence have formed, been restructured, and become loci of contestation through a continuum of epistemological, cultural, spatial, and sociopolitical practices. Also, racialization’s implications for citizenship, migration and mobility, human rights, and the social ontology of being and nonbeing will be explored
