About this title

Synopsis

Benjamin Ringer and Elinor Lawless argue that the treatment of racial minorities in America has been qualitatively different from that experienced by white immigrants; that racism is not a mere aberration in American society -- largely confined to the South -- but built into the very foundations of the society.

Review

"A good example of interdisciplinary theorizing and historical analysis within an international perspective." -- Political Science Quarterly

"In short, Race-Ethnicity and Society deserves serious consideration as a text in advanced courses in race-ethnic relations." -- Contemporary Sociology
