This talk is based on a provocation which begins with the claim that “racism is more objected to than understood in sociology” (Hesse, 2016). The talk goes on to question what is the object that is being objected to within the sociology of racism and what does it tell us about the nature of sociological enterprise and its relationship to the post-racial.
