我们在这篇文章中的主要目的是主张恢复一个强有力的概念，机构的社会学帐户的社会关系，特别是那些与群体的形成和冲突。我们认为，许多当代社会学关于这一主题的著作仍然依赖于种族和民族的概念作为主要的解释或描述手段。这有两个重要的后果：一方面，它再现了与这些概念相关联的强大的理论混淆，而另一方面，它提示了这样一种观念，即人类的能动性只是一个虚幻的角色，作为一个有意的代理人。借鉴黑格尔式的历史唯物主义和现实主义的知识资源，我们通过主张一种后种族、后种族群体形成的社会学来挑战这两种说法，这种社会学允许更大范围的机构决定社会生活。
Our chief purpose in this article is to argue for a restoration of a strong notion of agency to sociological accounts of social relations, and particularly those concerned with group formation and conflict. We contend that much contemporary sociological writing on this topic continues to rely on the concepts of race and ethnicity as primary explanatory or descriptive devices. This has two important consequences: on the one hand it reproduces the powerful theoretical obfuscation associated with these concepts, whilst on the other it prompts the notion that human agency has only an illusory role as an intentional agent. Drawing on the intellectual resources of a Hegelian-inflected historical materialism and realism, we challenge both claims by arguing for a post-race, post-ethnicity sociology of group formation, one which allows a greater scope for agency in the determination of social life.
