Currently I am working on 4 major things:

1) A slow-book-in-the-making titled, ANYTHING BUT RACISM: HOW SOCIAL ANALYSTS LIMIT THE SIGNIFICANCE OF RACISM with Gianpaolo Baiocchi (Brown) and Hayward Horton (Albany). In this book we will examine the specific history and practice of "white logic" and "white methods" in the USA with a focus on sociology.

2) A project titled, "We are All Americans! The Latin Americanization of Race Relations in the USA," where I explore the changing dynamics of racial stratification in the United States. I have produced several articles and chapters on the subject, but am waiting for new data to expand and solidify the argument into a book.

3) A popular book titled THE INVISIBLE WEIGHT OF WHITENESS: THE RACIAL GRAMMAR OF EVERYDAY LIFE IN AMERICA, where I examine how the 500 plus years of racism in the world-system have produced a "grammar" that organizes perception, cognition, and even emotions about all sort of everyday matters ranging from  movies and TV shows, commercials, "knowledge," voting, crime, how we look at beauty, etc., etc., etc.

4) A textbook on race and ethnicity with Professor David G. Embrick (Loyola) scheduled for 2010 with Rowman and Littlefield.
