About this title

Synopsis

This comprehensive Reader brings together foundation work in the study of race and ethnicity and writings from many of the most exciting scholars today. It is divided into the following main sections:

• origins and transformations
• sociology, race and social theory
• racism and anti-Semitism
• colonialism, race and the other
• feminism, difference and identity
• changing boundaries and spaces.

Each section begins with a brief editorial introduction, providing a guide to the readings by historically contextualizing them and relating them to other writings throughout the book. Cross-national in content, historical in scope and offering a variety of topical perspectives, Theories of Race and Racism will be an invaluable resource for undergraduates across a range of disciplines.
