During the late 2010s, the undocumented immigrant youth movement embraced inclusive and intersectional representations. Directly impacted activists deconstructed language and symbolic categories that excluded. However, their movement continued to stratify activists along representational lines. This article combines theories of intersectionality and symbolic power to develop the concept of “representational hierarchy.” Producing representations requires legitimacy, and the resources needed for legitimacy (i.e., symbolic capital) are unevenly distributed to activists. Activists in possession of these resources can rise to the top and exert control over the means of representation. Dominant activists enforce representations and their positioning through coercive (“calling out”) and consensual (“calling in”) mechanisms. Our project employs ethnographic data from two periods of investigation: 2011–12 and 2018. The data include interviews with new and experienced activists, analysis of movement documents, and 400 hours of participant observations. For this specific article, we draw mostly on interviews conducted in 2018.

Racial purity and supremacy were central to Nazi Germany’s claims to European dominion. At the same time, their very own “racial scientific” research showed that most Germans were “mixed-race.” Given the dissonance between phenotypical aspirations to a Nordic ideal and the reality of a largely nonblond German population, how did the National Socialist regime maintain legitimacy to rule? Anthropologists, bureaucrats, and artists resolved this racial misalignment through horror vacui racialization, an excessive social classification that manifested as a racializing turn inward aimed at Christian Germans. I theorize the role of culture and art in stabilizing race-based rule in authoritarian and colonial contexts through racial repair that realigns desired and actual racial self-understandings. The article shows how an ostensibly biologically essentialist regime strategically used racial relativism in science, politics, and popular culture. I outline the sociological implications of this work for the sociologies of culture, of race and ethnicity, of theories of the state, of empire, and of science and technology studies.
