Rethinking the Color Line is a user-friendly text that does not sacrifice intellectual or theoretical rigor. This anthology of current research examines contemporary issues and explores new approaches to the study of race and ethnic relations. The featured readings effectively engage students by helping them understand theories and concepts, and encourage active learning in the classroom all while providing relevance for students from all ethnic, racial, cultural, and economic backgrounds. The new fourth edition features 8 new readings as well as a new two-color design that brings attention to the "Seeing the Big Picture" and "Questions to Consider" boxes found throughout the text.
Good compilation of classic and contemporary readings on race and ethnicity from a variety of social science disciplines (but mostly sociology). Not too much difference from the 4th edition hence the lower star rating.
This is a compilation of essays on race. I hate reading anthologies for school, but a lot of these essays were very well written and made a lot of points about race that I hadn't previously read in other cultural diversity classes.
