Ethnic studies scholars have developed new perspectives on racial formation in the West that complicate older notions that often relied on binary descriptions, such as Black\/white racialisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the past few decades, these studies have relied on relational approaches that focus on how race is constructed, by both examining interactions with the white dominant group, and by exploring the multiple connections with other racial\/ethnic groups in society. Historians are discovering new stories of racial construction, and revising older accounts, to integrate these new perspectives into the formation of racial and ethnic identities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis collection of essays on Jews in the American West advances this field in multiple ways.
