Críticas:

"Race and Racisms: A Critical Approach, Brief Edition, is well argued and critical, with a strong historical perspective. It's also a good read that students will both learn from and enjoy."--Sarah Rusche, Minnesota State University

"Race and Racisms is a contemporary, justice-oriented text that is relevant to the changing American demographics. It addresses the social construction of differences and conflict that my colleagues and I are trying to expose our students to. The fact that this book covers colorism and color stratification is phenomenal. Not only is the scholarship current and soundly interpreted, but the text also highlights research that is very relevant to students being able to analyze data and apply it to problems in order to find solutions."--James L. Burnett, Urbana University

"The topics are highly relevant and timely, and effectively illustrate a critical ethnic studies perspective that examines issues of intersecting oppressions along axes of race, class, and gender."--Mary Roaf, Northern Arizona University

Reseña del editor:

Race and Racisms, A Critical Approach, Brief Edition, is a topical critical text that engages students in significant questions related to racial dynamics in the United States and around the world. Approximately thirty percent shorter than Golash-Boza's highly acclaimed comprehensive text, the Brief Edition features a streamlined narrative and is enhanced by its own unique features. It is ideal for instructors who want the flexibility to assign additional readings.

Race and Racisms: A Critical Approach engages students in significant questions related to racial dynamics in the U.S. and around the world. Written in accessible, straightforward language, the book discusses and critically analyzes cutting-edge scholarship in the field. Organized into topics and concepts rather than discrete racial groups, the text addresses:

* How and when the idea of race was created and developed
* How structural racism has worked historically to reproduce inequality
* How we have a society rampant with racial inequality, even though most people do not consider themselves to be racist
* How race, class, and gender work together to create inequality and identities
* How immigration policy in the United States has been racialized
* How racial justice could be imagined and realized

Centrally focused on racial dynamics, Race and Racisms, Brief Edition also incorporates an intersectional perspective, discussing the intersections of racism, patriarchy, and capitalism.
