Abstract
The epilogue draws together the book’s key findings and offers recommendations for antiracist approaches to DNA ancestry testing in light of recent political and commercial developments in both countries. The chapter argues that it is an error to assume that DNA ancestry technologies can “automatically” deconstruct racial myths or lead to more open-minded and just societies. The plurality of forms of contemporary racism, combined with the malleability of genomic data, mean that DNA ancestry testing has limited capabilities for combatting prejudice and structural inequalities. The chapter ends by advocating for a renewed focus on understanding how our psyches, bodies, and genomes are marked in different ways by the historical traumas of slavery and settler-colonialism, arguing that reconstructing memories of the past can help foster social transformation, and lay the bases for more just, resilient societies.
