Evidence

Yet it is also clear that there is a lack of clarity about both the substance and the boundaries of race and ethnicity as related fields of study, about their scope, social conditions and formations, the relations and implications they signal and signify. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 89
