abstract="This paper defends the concept of racialization against its critics. As the concept has become increasingly popular, questions about its meaning and value have been raised, and a backlash against its use has occurred. I argue that when &quot;racialization&quot; is properly understood, criticisms of the concept are unsuccessful. I defend a definition of racialization and identify its companion concept, &quot;racialized group.&quot; Racialization is often used as a synonym for &quot;racial formation.&quot; I argue that this is a mistake. Racial formation theory is committed to racial ontology, but racialization is best understood as the process through which racialized - rather than racial - groups are formed. &quot;Racialization&quot; plays a unique role in the conceptual landscape, and it is a key concept for race eliminativists and anti-realists about race.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
