Race’s register shifts from institutions to everyday micro-relational and macro-strategic sites.

Evidence

The register of race has shifted from the broadly institutional, from which it is at least explicitly excised, to the micro-relational of everyday interactions, on the one hand, and the macro-political strategizing of geo-global interests, on the other. The two in the end go hand in glove … Palestinians are the most pressed contemporary targets of this dual logic, though anyone today who is or is mistaken for a Muslim is deemed fair game. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 139
