Racial formation
Racial formation is a theory by Michael Omi and Howard Winant which posits that the concept of race is socially constructed along two interrelated dimensions of institutional structures and practices of signification. The meaning of race, in its institutional and symbolic dimensions, is the result of competing 'racial projects' conceived of in Gramscian terms of hegemony.
