Beginning in the mid-20th century, adherents to race reshaped race by creating a social focus on racism, and the academic world confronted and slowly came to reject the idea of race as a useful description of humankind.  Despite these truths, practitioners of race favor the continued making of race in the world.  It is time to develop a conscious re-examination of old ideas about race, and to raise new questions.  Is it possible to be non-racial in a society that believes in race?  What do non-racial identities mean for social systems that flow out of race?  And what role should race play in shaping the future?
