Reviews

Andersen's Race and Society engages the classroom with contemporary social scientific scholarship in race and ethnicity and wrestles with the historically rooted and contemporarily experienced complexities of racial and ethnic inequalities across individual, interpersonal, and institutional domains, all while pointing students toward racial justice.--David L. Brunsma, Virginia Tech


"Andersen's Race and Society engages the classroom with contemporary social scientific scholarship in race and ethnicity and wrestles with the historically rooted and contemporarily experienced complexities of racial and ethnic inequalities across individual, interpersonal, and institutional domains, all while pointing students toward racial justice. --David L. Brunsma, Virginia Tech Examining the full range of sociology of race in the US, Andersen's second edition provides accessible and up-to-date material for students to think critically about racial inequality and racial justice. --Mary Romero, 110th President, American Sociological Association Overall, Race in Society presents the data necessary to develop students' ability to think critically about the social implications of race . . . Students will undoubtedly develop an understanding of how race is both a permanent fixture and yet a malleable construct in society at the same time. Students will likely appreciate the frequent references to contemporary phenomena such as racialized emojis and the Fight for 15 Movement. By prioritizing the relevance of race and racism through the acknowledgment of how it interacts with other structures in society, students who engage with this textbook will undoubtedly establish a critical sociological imagination, one attuned to how social inequality exists while recognizing that it doesn't have to persist. -- ""Teaching Sociology"""
