Race and Ethnicity Hephzibah V Strmic-Pawl

Race and Ethnicity: Constancy in Change provides students with a collection of readings that set a foundation for understanding race and that address contemporary racism. The nine sections of the anthology address the history of White colonization, the social construction of race, immigration, theories on racism, contemporary inequality and systems of oppression, popular culture, and close with thoughts on fighting racial discrimination.

The anthology leverages strategic pedagogical features to enhance the learning and reading experience. At the beginning of the book, a timeline that denotes major points in U. S. racial history and a list of key terms provide useful references that readers can return to throughout the book. Each section includes an introduction and "As You Read" points to guide the reader, and each reading begins with "Reflect and Consider" points that highlight key takeaways.

The second edition includes new readings that cover more in-depth history, multiple areas of social inequality, updated analysis of popular culture outlets, and more.

Race and Ethnicity is an ideal resource for courses and programs in sociology, especially those that emphasize contemporary issues related to race.
