Reviews
"This book is miles ahead of the competition. I cannot think of another that even remotely approaches it. It is conceptually rich, pedagogically conscientious, and scintillatingly relevant. I can't overstate what an excellent textbook this is. I haven't seen anything comparable--in any field."--Arun Rasiah, Holy Names University "This book takes an impressively sophisticated, critical approach to the sociological study of race and racisms. It stands head and shoulders above its competitors. The book manages to synthesize a remarkable amount of cutting-edge research in the sociological study of race into a package that is wholly suitable for undergraduate students who may have little or no previous exposure to this topic."--Hernan Ramirez, Florida State University "I haven't found a text that even comes close to this one; I would call it 'extraordinary.' It is the first book that does so much, so effectively. The approach is thoughtfully integrated, saturating each topic in a deep, but understandable way. The writing style is excellent--very readable without sacrificing any intellectual rigor: a rare combination that one only finds in a good scholar who also is in tune with students."--Alan Spector, Purdue University "Golash-Boza begins each chapter with fascinating research, which pulls the reader in. In addition, the 'Voices' sections integrate marginalized and unique perspectives that highlight the intersection of race with other social inequalities such as gender, class, and ability. The book does not present the experiences of individual race groups one-by-one, and I am pleased by this alternative, refreshing approach. It is expertly organized and supported with sound, relevant research."--Jacqueline Brooks, California State University- Sacramento, "This book is miles ahead of the competition.
