| Abstract |
"This short text explains the basic theories and concepts related to the sociology of race and ethnicity. Unlike most texts for this course, it does not contain chapters on individual racial and ethnic minorities (like the Healey texts) or on race within the context of social institutions (like Coates). Race and Society: The Essentials, reflects the most current thinking in the field, covering topics such as institutional racism, racial privilege, intersectionality, color blind-racism, interracial relationships, multiracial families, biracial/multiracial identities, and indigeneity. For instructors who like to assign other kinds of materials for their race/ethnicity courses (research monographs, journals articles, published anthologies, scholarly and trade books), Race and Ethnicty: The Basics will provide a solid theoretical and conceptual grounding in the field. It will also be an attractive option for courses that are shorter in duration (summer and inter-session classes, colleges on a quarter system)"-- Provided by publisher. |

"Race and Society: The Essentials explains the basic theories and concepts related to the sociology of race and ethnicity, covering topics such as prejudice and discrimination, immigration and assimilation, structural and institutional racism, privilege, intersectionality, color blind-racism, interracial relationships, multiracial families, biracial/multiracial identities, and indigeneity. It is designed to provide a foundation for students so they can have productive and necessary discussions about race, racism, and privilege and understand how to move towards a more racially just society." -- Provided by publisher. |
