February 16, 2017Seems like issues like these are getting more complicated, more scrutiny, and more "back to basics" study just to have some common language to discuss what we think we know about these human relations in context. I've assigned Healey, along with some primary source readings, for a few years now as he does a remarkable job synthesizing the history and nature of both group and individual identity and differences. As typical of the "race and ethnic relations" field, and to separate sociology (too much) from anthropology, the content is US/West-centric but has a decent number of global connections including US immigration issues in the context of global migration. (I think the field is starting to get global, finally, as the first so-titled book on "global racism" has just come out: Race and Power: Global Racism in the Twenty First Century). I predict "global racism" as a growth industry.
I know this is a textbook. Sorry about that. However, it's cheap and is basically "cliff notes" from several hundreds of books pulling from across social and behavioral sciences on...you got it...."race, ethnicity, gender, and class"! Get it if you need it.

Having spent a semester with this book I'm very satisfied with it. Is it perfect? No. Nothing covering these subjects ever could be. This book has given me a solid foundation on which to become a better person.

For a textbook this material is filled with biased opinions from the authors. They present theories as facts and push their personal agendas onto the reader. Very disappointing book.
