Abstract

This study expands our understanding of how commercialized genomics shape communication about Black individuals and Black families. Using critical race theory (CRT), I explicate how genetic ancestry tests (GATs) are rooted in whiteness and seek to overdetermine Blackness. Focus group interviews, individual interviews, and media analysis reveal the converging interests of the GAT industry and Black GAT customers. I argue that our contemporary landscape is marked by racial-genomic interest convergence, which characterizes the codependency of Black customers and the GAT industry in ways that (re)construct Black families. I conclude by discussing implications for the industry and Black families.

种族-基因组兴趣趋同和黑人家庭的基因化
这项研究扩展了我们对商业化基因组学如何塑造黑人个体和黑人家庭之间的交流的理解。使用关键种族理论(CRT),我解释了遗传祖先测试(GATs)是如何根植于白人,并寻求过度决定黑人。焦点小组访谈、个人访谈和媒体分析揭示了GAT行业和黑色GAT客户的共同利益。我认为,我们的当代景观是以种族-基因组利益趋同为特征的,这以(重新)构建黑人家庭的方式表征了黑人客户和GAT行业的相互依赖。最后,我将讨论对该行业和黑人家庭的影响。
