Racialization results from capitalism’s mobility need conflicting with citizenship boundaries

Evidence

For Miles processes of racialization are intertwined with the material conditions of migrant workers and other racialized groups. Its effects are the result of the contradiction between “on the one hand the need of the capitalist world economy for the mobility of human beings, and on the other, the drawing of territorial boundaries and the construction of citizenship as a legal category which sets boundaries for human mobility” (Miles, 1988:438). — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 2186
