This is a book about the stickiness of identity. Its focus is racial identities in the contemporary United States, which, it argues, were 'institutionalized' and 'objectified'. It uses historical analysis and life-history interviews to show how the institutionalization and objectification of racial stories makes them 'sticky', even when they're challenged and critiqued.
