Now, the thesis of periodicity --before | discovery| after-- and instrumentality of "race" relationships that he develops from that seems to me to pertain also today to recurring, opportune discoveries of oppressed ethnic minorities such as The Ahwaz within a hegemonic "evil" (Greater Middle East<->Persians<->Medi) upon which racists operate. The historian, intentionally or not, seems to me to postulate a cognitive function in race schema that is systematically associated with value discovery. I paraphrase from memory.
BEFORE: ethnic heterogeneity within a population identified by geography DISCOVERY: object permanence AFTER: undifferentiated identity of a population by geography ("blacks", "whites") Diversity is the key to economic and political evolution.
