Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Race and Racisms is a perfect fit for my teaching style. It covers the topics I want to cover, and more. The scholarship is excellent and the writing style is absolutely engaging and appropriate for my students. This is the textbook we've been waiting for."--Joyce M. Bell, University of Pittsburgh

"This text stands out because it is arranged by topic rather than by group. This is important because no one who truly teaches race treats minority groups as if they existed in a time and place vacuum. The writing style is extremely accessible, clear cut, precise and to the point. This is by far one of the best and most unique textbooks in the area of U.S. race and ethnic relations on the market today."--David G. Embrick, Loyola University, Chicago

"Golash-Boza's voice is engaging and clear, yet she doesn't talk down to students or shy away from complex issues and ideas. The level of empirical detail, theoretical perspectives, and narrative illustrations--and the way that these all interweave--is remarkably skillful. The first-person accounts are very effective and are one of the best things about this text. I can't wait to use it in my Race and Ethnicity course."--Matthew Schneirov, Duquesne University

Reseña del editor:

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 also incorporates an intersectional perspective, discussing the intersections of racism, patriarchy, and capitalism.
