Racial states form and persist through relational positioning in a global colonial arrangement.
Evidence
Finally, racial states are elaborated, reproduced, extended, and sustained — in short, they exist over time — in virtue of their relative positioning in the establishment of a complex global arrangement. Race was discursively fashioned as its elaborating definition helped to imagine and create a world known even by its protagonists as colonization (Merivale, 1928). Bodies were racially produced, constituted as bearers of political and economic, legal and cultural, power and meanings. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 1744
