This text distinguishes itself by moving beyond traditional group-based approaches to race, instead adopting a comprehensive, topical framework that centers intersectionality and contemporary issues. The accessible narrative is enriched by personal stories, critical research insights, and global perspectives, all presented alongside updated data and visuals. Each chapter combines rigorous academic analysis with practical tools for meaningful discussion, equipping students not only with knowledge but with strategies for thoughtful engagement in conversations about race. The integration of digital resources—including videos, self-quizzes, and flashcards—ensures that learners can interact with the material in multiple ways, fostering a multidimensional understanding of current and historical racial dynamics in the United States.
Race and Racisms presents students with a topical, critical and contemporary approach to race and ethnic studies. Rather than taking a "group-by-group" approach, Race and Racisms focuses on how and when the idea of race was created and how it developed and changed over time; how structural racism has worked historically to reproduce inequality; how race, class, and gender work together to create inequality and identities; and how racial justice could be imagined and realized.
