Book Description
This book brings together internationally known scholars from a wide range of disciplines and theoretical traditions, all of whom have made significant contributions to the field of race and ethnic relations. As well as identifying important and persistent points of controversy, the collection reveals a complementary and multifaceted approach to theorisation. The theories represented include contributions from the perspective of sociology. These range from the established perspectives of Marx and Weber through to the more recent interventions of rational choice theory, symbolic interactionism and identity structure analysis.

Book Description
"Rashawn Ray's edited collection has woven together a textured tapestry of some of the most seminal and outstanding scholarship on the evolution of the concepts of race and racial relations across the social sciences. This fine compendium of articles is an engaging read and provides a great service to scholars, teachers, and students of race relations in the United States." -- Prudence Carter Author of Keepin' It Real: School Success Beyond Black and White "In a field crowded with race anthologies, this exciting new volume stands out from the crowd. Through a powerful combination of the best of critical race scholarship by senior scholars as well as cutting-edge work by up-and-coming thinkers, the selections in Race and Ethnic Relations in the Twenty-First Century not only survey where critical race studies has been but, more importantly, point the way to where this important field is going." -- Patricia Hill Collins Author of Another Kind of Public Education: Race, the Media, Schools, and Democratic Possibilities "During the twenty-first century, Americans desperately need some clear and penetrating analyses of how race operates throughout society, affecting life chances and shaping who we are as a people. This volume fits the bill exquisitely. Its collection of classic and contemporary essays thoroughly interrogates the role of race helping both advanced scholars and beginning students to come to grips with the vast realities of race. It is a timely volume that will help to wipe away the confusion surrounding race in America and point to ways the nation can overcome one of it original sins." -- Aldon Morris Author of The Origins of the Civil Rights Movement: Black Communities Organizing for Change "This excellent collection brings together well-known, established authors whose theories have influenced contemporary research on race with those emerging scholars whose findings will shape future research and policy. It lays the groundwork for revisiting social psychological theories in the context of institutional and interactional approaches to the study of race, gender and social status. These readings help explain the persistence of obstacles facing old and new minorities in the United States as well as highlighting the opportunities for and promise of overcoming them." -- Wanda Rushing Author of Memphis and the Paradox of Place: Globalization in the American South Race and Ethnic Relations in the Twenty-First Century examines the major theoretical and empirical approaches regarding race and ethnicity. Its goal is to continue to place race and ethnic relations in a contemporary, intersectional, and cross-comparative context and progress the discipline to include groups past the Black/White dichotomy. Using various sociological theories, social psychological theories, and subcultural approaches, this book gives students a sociohistorical, theoretical, and institutional frame with which to view race and ethnic relations in the twenty-first century. Dr. Rashawn Ray is an associate professor of sociology at the University of Maryland, College Park. Ray's research addresses the mechanisms that manufacture and maintain racial and social inequality. His work also speaks to ways that inequality may be attenuated through racial uplift activism and social policy. He has written op-eds for New York Times, Huffington Post, and Public Radio International. Currently, Ray runs the #DailyThought Vlog at rashawnray.com.

Book Description
Since the 1993 publication of the third edition of the Dictionary of Race and Ethnic Relations, events have continued to change the way in which race and ethnicity are viewed. The trial of O. J. Simpson; the publication of The Bell Curve; and the continuing attacks on Affirmative Action have all affected the ways in which race and the surrounding issues of racism and identity have been reported in the media and studied in the classroom. The Dictionary of Race and Ethnic Relations covers a range of national and international topics which have been written by a distinguished group of experts on race and ethnicity. The reader will find new articles covering recent events, historical and theoretical perspectives and important figures. Over half of the book has been revised or rewritten and all of the articles include fully-updated lists of further reading.

Book Description
This accessible, challenging discussion of race relations looks at how institutions shape individual experience and asks how we can prevent a violent splintering of American society along racial lines in the 21st century. Arguing that the best way to understand race relations is through the personal accounts of individuals as they go through the life cycle, this highly readable book uses real life stories to illuminate how families, peer groups, and workplaces influence views about other racial and ethnic groups. The authors hope to inspire readers to intervene and counteract negative perceptions of racial difference through their open, frank discussion of the racial divide.

Book Description
Since its release shortly after the famous March on Washington in 1963, They and We has been a leading text in the field of racial and ethnic relations in the United States. The tradition continues. They and We, 6th edition, presented in the form of twelve linked essays plus an epilogue, offers a jargon-free introduction to the critical study of America's people, their origins and encounters. In addition to a four chapter section devoted to the social history of our diverse population, the author examines the roots of prejudice, patterns of discrimination, the meaning of "minority status," and the issues of power, politics, and pluralism. Particular attention is paid to continuing struggles for group rights among those most beleaguered, reactions to the dramatic increases in immigration from Asia and Latin America and the resurgence of nativism among those who once again feel threatened by "alien" forces, recent political crises such as occurred in the aftermath of the attack on the World Trade Towers and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, and the war and occupation in Iraq, and continuing debates over multiculturalism. Every chapter has been updated and, where appropriate, changed or added to in light of new challenges and new perspectives. Those familiar with this sociological classic will be pleased to note that Peter Rose's approach to this subject continues to be grounded in his sensitive and engaging approach to the consideration and assessment of troubling issues. Others will come to appreciate this orientation. And all will benefit from the explication of key concepts, the clarity of exposition, and the comprehensiveness of coverage - from the observations of the French visitor Alexis de Tocqueville to contemporary Critical Race Theorists -- in what is still a rather small book.

Book Description
The study of racial and ethnic relations has become one of the most written about aspects in sociology and sociological research. In both North America and Europe, many "traditional" cultures are feeling threatened by immigrants from Latin America, Africa and Asia. This handbook is a true international collaboration looking at racial and ethnic relations from an academic perspective. It starts from the principle that sociology is at the hub of the human sciences concerned with racial and ethnic relations.
