More Description Race and Ethnicity: Constancy in Change uses both classic readings and new research on contemporary racial inequality to create a logical progression through the primary issues of race and ethnicity. The nine sections discuss the history and social construction of race, immigration and assimilation, theories of racism, structured racial inequality, popular culture, and future directions. The anthology features introductions that frame each section's readings and key terms with which students should be familiar. Each section ends with a Highlight that showcases a contemporary racial trend in the news. The book concludes with Investigate Further, a list of readings for those who wish to delve deeper into a particular topic.
The book features several useful tools both for instructors and students for classroom discussion as well as outside assignments. The Key Terms can act as a study guide and Investigate Further provides readings and resources beneficial for research projects and papers. There are also learning objectives for each major section and Reflect and Consider inquires designed for each reading - these goals and questions can guide a lecture or classroom group exercises. In addition, the end of each section is supplemented by Read, Listen, Watch, Interact! that supplies easily accessible links to complementary readings, audio stories, videos, and interactive websites.
Race and Ethnicity enables students to grasp the fundamentals of race and racism and encourages them to engage in conversations about these issues. Ideal for sociology programs, the anthology is well-suited to courses on race and ethnicity.
