The final chapter of the text varies depending on the edition read. After purchasing the second edition, I was able to acquire a copy of the first. The later chapters have an interesting correlation to the time periods in which they were published, although they are both similar. After the 2008 election, Taylor rewrote the final chapter of the text to reflect the new dialogue sparked by the election of our first black president. In the first edition, chapter six explores how race affects the increasingly prevalent topic of immigration and globalization in the United States (among others). Taylor emphasizes the importance of defining immigration administration as a racial structure, regardless of its supporters' insistence that it merely enforces laws. He makes his point by explaining that common assertions and concepts about what is considered American (and what makes our country what we believe it is) come from customs that were created "in the fires of classic racism” (p. 195). This is especially true with the tacit but routine assumption that America is a country made for and accommodating to the white man. This understanding dates back to the time the first European settlers arrived in America and has remained steadfast ever since. Taylor cites examples including the American prison system and its radically unequal population. It seems clear that there are a disproportionate number of minorities, which calls for a debate on the supposedly impartial nature of our laws and criminal codes. Mention is also made of the constant intervention of the United States in Haiti; the relevance of globalization to immigration was in the middle of the article...it clarifies common assumptions and addresses issues that affect the population as a whole. I believe the continued and urgent need for progressive change has been made clear, and Taylor goes on to clarify that to "adequately unlearn our version of racial thinking would require a massive public education effort, and everything related to public education will win.” is going nowhere unless it addresses a variety of racial neuroses and an assortment of ethnic politics issues…” (p. 128). Truly breaking free from the captivity and narrow viewpoints that are common in racial thinking must happen on both a societal and personal level, and I believe Taylor has given us the tools and interpretations necessary to begin to rethink question our own beliefs and convictions.
