Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

?What unites these essays is a common focus on the ?social construction? of racial categories and a desire to expose the exercise of racism and its intersection with other forms of social domination such as class, gender, and ethnicity . . . Fascinating.???Multicultural Review?The coming together of theoretical, multiethnic, and ?on-the-ground? perspectives makes this book a particularly valuable contribution to the discourse on race.???Paula Giddings?Timely and thoughtful. . . contributes to our understanding of how race operates as a social process and in the contextualization of power and status.???Contemporary Sociology?A treasure chest full of gems.

They demonstrate how social elites and members of subordinated groups construct and rework racial meanings and identities within the context of global political, economic, and cultural change. Race provides a comprehensive and empirically grounded survey of contemporary theoretical approaches to studying the complex interplay of race, power, and identity.…
