'When are you from?' Time, space, and capital in the molecular reinscription of race

In A Post-Genomic Surprise: The Molecular Reinscription of Race in Science, Law, and Medicine (2015), Troy Duster aptly notes the irony that with the new millennium and completion of the Human Genome Project science was supposed to have finally put this question to rest. But, of course, this was not the case; because, as Duster's fine analysis makes clear, at its core the question of whether race is biological (or more specifically, genetic), like the concept of race itself, is not simply scientific but also profoundly social, cultural, historical and political.
