      abstract = {Historian Painter centers her momentous study of racial  classification on the slave trade and the nation-building  efforts which dominated the United States in the 18th  century, when thinkers led by Ralph Waldo Emerson strove to  explain the rapid progress of America within the context of  white superiority. Her research is filled with frequent,  startling realizations about how tenuous and temporary our  racial classifications really are.},
