Race lacks a singular transhistorical essence and is not fully determined by economics

Evidence

What allows for a characterization of these very different approaches as belonging to a single tendency is simply this: they take economic relations and structures to have an overwhelmingly determining effect on the social structures of such formations. Specifically, those social divisions which assume a distinctively racial or ethnic character can be attributed or explained principally with reference to economic structures and processes. — Hall, Stuart, Essential Essays, Volume 1, 579 (#contradicts, via linked claim)
