Select Condition 
Book Overview
An evenhanded and provocative exploration that shows how the social constructions of race and ethnicity can both be imagined and at the same time be absolutely fundamental to social life and to one′s deepest sense of the self. Readers of this book will see everything from ethnic conflict in Eastern European cities to multiculturalism in U.S. schools with a fresh understanding and a sociological eye.
"I am enthusiastic about this book because I think it serves a series of needs which are not currently met by the publishing community: scholarly material which is neither diluted for an introductory mass market nor professional."
-- Jeffrey Chin, LeMoyne College (former Editor of Teaching Sociology)

A thought-provoking overview of ethnicity and race
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Ethnicity and race are controversial topics in many respects, but understanding these concepts is an important step in the process of dealing with and confronting the issues they present. This book walks the reader through over a century of social theory on race and ethnicity, dissecting the different theories and pointing out the strengths and weaknesses in each. It also effectively uses historical examples to illustrate the concepts it presents. For anyone who is interested in the topic, this book is an excellent primer that will provide a great conceptual basis for further study in the fields concerning race and ethnicity.
