<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Ideal for instructors who want the flexibility to assign additional readings, <em> Race and Racisms: A Critical Approach, </em> Brief Second Edition, is a topical text that engages students in significant questions related to racial dynamics in the United States and around the world. Shorter than Golash-Boza's highly acclaimed comprehensive text, the Brief Second Edition features a streamlined narrative and is enhanced by its own unique features. <p/><em>Race and Racisms: A Critical Approach</em>, Brief Second Edition, engages students in significant questions related to racial dynamics in the U.S. and around the world. Written in accessible, straightforward language, the book discusses and critically analyzes cutting-edge scholarship in the field. Organized into topics and concepts rather than discrete racial groups, the text addresses: <p/>* How and when the idea of race was created and developed<br>* How structural racism has worked historically to reproduce inequality<br>* How we have a society rampant with racial inequality, even though most people do not consider themselves to be racist<br>* How race, class, and gender work together to create inequality and identities<br>* How immigration policy in the United States has been racialized<br>* How racial justice could be imagined and realized <p/>Centrally focused on racial dynamics, <em>Race and Racisms</em>, Brief Second Edition, also incorporates an intersectional perspective, discussing the intersections of racism, patriarchy, and capitalism.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>Golash-Boza does an excellent job of providing examples that reflect the social, demographic, and cultural diversity of the United States. I'm very excited that she went beyond the classical theorists and included critical race scholars, Chicano scholars, etc. This is a very engaging text that forces students to participate in a level of dialogue that they have rarely experienced.--Maria Isabel Ayala, <em>Michigan State University</em> <p/><p></p><br>This textbook's very compelling coverage makes it stand out. The way in which Golash-Boza develops the history and ideology is fresh and relevant; it engages students in a new way. The book provides a good grounding in theory and the construction of race in society.--Santos Torres, Jr., <em>California</em> <em>State University, Sacramento</em> <br><p></p><br><em>Race and Racisms</em> is comprehensive but not so dense as to intimidate students. I like that the book takes a thematic approach versus a chapter breakdown of different racial and ethnic groups (which I find to be essentialist and problematic). It covers a lot of ground, which makes it ideal to incorporate into a variety of courses.--Jean Beaman, <em>Purdue University</em> <br><p></p><br><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><br>Tanya Maria Golash-Boza is Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Merced.<br>
