Summary
Historians can better understand British history by centering imperial racial formation. This approach moves beyond class-based analyses to reveal how race and empire shaped national identity and marginalized communities.
Area of Science:
- History
- Sociology
- Cultural Studies
Background:
- Paul Gilroy's "There Ain't No Black in the Union Jack" (1987) critiqued Marxist frameworks for sidelining race.
- Gilroy argued that neglecting race and empire rendered racialized subjects "outsiders" in British society.
Purpose of the Study:
- To re-evaluate British history by centering imperial racial formation and its contestations.
- To propose new periodizations, geographies, and methodologies for analyzing 20th-century British history.
- To establish race as a central analytical framework, not merely a descriptive category.
Main Methods:
- Thematic issue featuring analyses of state, institutions, and individuals.
- Drawing on and extending Paul Gilroy's foundational work on race and nation.
- A five-year scholarly conversation informing the collected essays.
Main Results:
- Demonstrates the limitations of class-centric historical narratives in accounting for race.
- Highlights the persistent impact of imperial racial formation on British society.
- Offers new frameworks for understanding the complexities of race in British history.
Conclusions:
- Centering imperial racial formation provides a more comprehensive understanding of Britain's past.
- Race and empire are crucial analytical lenses for interpreting British history.
- Scholarly engagement with Gilroy's work continues to shape new historical methodologies.

6.3K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

02:55Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination
90.0K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Unlike parametric methods, nonparametric statistics are ideal for nominal and ordinal data, requiring fewer assumptions about the population's nature or distribution. This makes nonparametric methods easier to apply and interpret, as they do not depend on parameters like mean or standard deviation. One common approach in nonparametric analysis is to sort data according to a specific criterion. For instance, we might arrange weather data from hottest to coldest days in a month or rank cities...

01:15Construction of Frequency Distribution
7.6K
A frequency distribution table can be constructed using the steps given below.
First, make a table with two columns—one with the title of the data that needs to be organized, and the other column for frequency. [Draw a third column for tally marks if needed]. Then, take a look at the items given in the data set and decide if an ungrouped frequency distribution table or a grouped frequency distribution table would be more suitable. If there are large sets of different values, then it is...

01:25Interpreting Run Charts

Run charts, essentially line graphs plotted over time, serve as fundamental yet effective tools for process analysis. They chronicle data sequentially, facilitating the identification of trends, shifts, or cyclical movements. This graphical representation is instrumental in determining whether a process is stable or exhibits signs of potential instability indicative of special cause variation. In the healthcare domain, run charts depict infection rates over time, enabling hospitals to monitor...

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...
