Race Consciousness: The Critique of the Theories of Black Movements
The Missing Issues on the Fall of the Occupy Movements
Sidestepping Class: A Marxist Critique of Race Formation Theory
This article critically examines the racial formation theory proposed by Omi and Winant from a Marxist perspective. It contends that the theory overlooks the class dimension of the social construction of race and the dynamics of racial formation in the United States. The article traces the historical role of class in the process of racial formation and shows how race and racism are linked to the evolution of capitalism in American society. It arg…
The class basis of racialisation: The missing link in neo-Marxist analysis of racism
Racialisation is a Marxist concept that has been utilised to understand racism patterns and reproduction in Western societies for more than three decades. In Marxist parlance, racialisation is the ideological process through which the state racialised a section of the population (ethnic minorities) for political purposes. The centrality of the state in racialisation discourse has inhibited the class basis that underpins racialisation. This articl…
Emirbayer and Desmond's work on The Racial Order: A commentary
Emirbayer and Desmond's text on the racial order (2015) provided an interesting account that seeks to articulate how race is embedded in social relations and constitutes the fabric of institutional and social interactions in everyday life. The text provided an important theoretical tool to map out the structure of racial actions, dynamics of racial field, the dimensions of racial conflicts and consensus that pervaded the landscape of American soc…
Class Root of Police Brutality: The Missing Gap in the Black Lives Matter Movement
This paper explores the activism of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement and argues that the missing link in the movement is the class question, which has impacted on its tactics, strategies, and modus operandi. Since its emergence, the BLM movement has won some concessions in police reforms, defunding of police, policy changes in use of body camera and greater transparency in policing, yet the problems of racism, police brutality, over-policing…
There is no Racial Order, but a Racialised Order in American Society: A Critique of Emirbayer and Desmond
Beyond Adherence: The Healthwork of People Living with HIV in Nigeria
Following the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in 1996, adherence was regarded by biomedical researchers as the only way to manage HIV effectively in everyday life. The sociological critique of this biomedical stance posits that the everyday management of HIV goes beyond the biomedical conception of adherence, as HIV-positive individuals undertake healthwork practices that form the basis of HIV management. Using symbol…
At the helm of haart: The experience of biographical time among people living with hiv in Nigeria
HIV is a chronic illness that does not yet have a cure but can be managed over a period (of time). HIV management is a biographical experience, structured by its temporal essence. Time is woven into the biographical structure of HIV management, meaning that an HIV diagnosis accelerates a person’s biographical awareness of temporality, which they may have previously taken for granted. This study explores the experiences of biographical time in peo…
The alternativisation of healthcare: A sociological framework for analysis
The use of alternative medicine (AM) outside mainstream healthcare has witnessed an increasing upsurge across western societies in recent decades. The theoretical tool articulated to capture this growing uptake of AM coalesced around the framework of alternativisation. Drawing from the perspectives in medical sociology, this article maps out the dimensions through which alternativisation and the expansion of AM in society. The key questions of wh…
