In the book Racial Formation we have discuss various keyword throughout the passages of the text. The keyword that a classmate and I had to define was “Black Power” the context of the black power during the 1960 was an organization that was form by only African American to unite people of their ethnical background to fight and protest against government issues. Black activist demanded their own race they wanted to set aside from the all-white thinking’s that had flooded the United States government. They denied assimilating in a society that was being run into white hands. I would connect the “Black Power” to The Untouchables when ghandi described Bakha that being Untouchable didn’t make him any different. Instead he needed to learn who he was as a person to find his iner self. Racial formation has form a history of people according to culture and race creating racial categories for race to have meaning and identify to other people by race.
