Description and Table of Contents
Description
For undergraduate Sociology courses in Race and Ethnic Relations.
This best-selling text begins with a thorough introduction to how sociologists think about race and ethnicity, then moves on to chapters on each major group-examining the group's history, then exploring the group's current situation. Contemporary issues such as coverage of emerging minority groups (women, the disabled) is included in this edition. It is also the only book on the market that brings full color to your race and ethnic course.
