Synopsis

A theoretically informed and empirical exploration of the diversity, depth, and significance of racial and ethnic relations in the U.S., this book is organized by racial-ethnic groups rather then by issues. Drawing heavily on a broad range of research sources -- that dig deep into the "what," "why," and "how" of racial and ethnic oppression and conflict -- it examines 15 major racial and ethnic groups with regard to their incorporation, economic circumstances, political development, and experience with exploitation -- with special reference to the assimilation and power conflict (theoretical) perspectives. Covers a comprehensive new theory of racial oppression; increasing demographic concentration of people of color; racism; issues of racial change; and housing discrimination & segregation.
