SOC 101: Race and Racialization

This video begins in the city of Bath, Maine, where on July 6 1854 the Catholic church was burned to the ground. Why did this happen, and what does the event have to do with the sociology concepts of race and racialization? This half-hour video lecture lays the conceptual foundation for understanding past racialization (for groups like "the Irish") and considers the current state of racial formation in the United States with reference to U.S. Census categorizations, the work of Omi and Winant, and the Bogardus distance scale. Recorded for an Introduction to Sociology class at the University of Maine at Augusta.
