Race as a human kind.Ronald R. Sundstrom - 2002 - Philosophy and Social Criticism 28 (1):91-115.details In this article I present a positive ontology of 'race'.

Working within Root's framework, I describe the conditions under which a constructed kind like 'race' would be real. I contend these conditions are currently satisfied in the United States.

Future Genders? Future Races?Sally Haslanger - 2004 - Philosophic Exchange 34 (1):1-24.details Gender is the social meaning of a person’s sex, and race is the social meaning of a person’s color. This paper reviews some accounts of these social meanings. It is argued that there are important differences between race and gender that count against treating them as parallel.
