DESCRIPTION:Race by DegreeAccording to race contextualism\, there is no mea
 ningful sense in which a person's race remains the same across contexts as
  different as the United States\, Brazil\, Senegal\, and so on. Michael Ro
 ot writes\, "Race does not travel. Some men who are black in New Orleans n
 ow would have been octoroons there some years ago or would be white in Bra
 zil today." Against contextualism\, I argue that racial kinds are global. 
 But to make sense of the global nature of race\, we must radically rethink
  the nature of race. I claim that race comes in degrees\; and while the de
 gree of one's race remains the same across contexts\, the exact social sig
 nificance of one's degree of race will vary. For example: a person can be 
 black\, to some degree\, in both the US and Brazil\, but the significance 
 of this fact will be interpreted differently in those respective countries
 . The degree-theoretic account of race makes sense of the global nature of
  race and its local interpretations.Any questions\, please contact&nbsp\;J
