Detailing the contemporary obstacles and battles that marginalized groups must fight, this handbook provides a comprehensive account that enables readers to understand the harmful nature of these issues and how they serve to place and keep marginalized groups at a disadvantage.
The Routledge Handbook on Marginalized Groups in the United States and their Challenges covers the belief systems, social and economic systems, political institutions, and public policies that aim to place and keep marginalized groups at a disadvantage, describing the intractable nature of these barriers, how inequality and inequity persist, why changing the status quo is so difficult, and why efforts to change the status quo seem not to bear results. The chapters in this book assess the cultural controversies and provide case studies to highlight the argument that social and economic systems, political institutions, public policies, and state governments sustain the status quo, offering essential insights into the ways that racism and sexism have pernicious effects on people of color, women, the LGBTQIA+ community, immigrants, people with disabilities, and the poor.
This volume is the most comprehensive book of its kind because of its wide-ranging interdisciplinary approach, featuring the leading voices and writers dealing with these very crucial matters. This handbook will be a standard reference for students, instructors, and researchers across sociology, political science, cultural studies, disability studies, race and ethnicity studies, and gender and sexuality studies.

This new Handbook is an essential resource for researchers, instructors, and students in courses on racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination in a theoretical and more practical ways. This book is not only for teaching instruction but also for scholars and readers interested in understanding the complexity of discrimination in todays America for the purpose to overcome it. The contributors to the Handbook focus on the marginalized groups in the United States and most importantly on different ways in which those groups continue to be ostracized and be discriminated against today. The uniqueness of the project is located at its intersection of sociology, social theory, culture and politics. This interdisciplinary endeavor is very much needed in the field of Minority studies. A more interdisciplinary and contemporary approach to discrimination is needed and that is why this project is so important in the field.

This new Handbook is very comprehensive and covers a lot of vitally important ground for researchers, instructors, and students. The editor and contributors are very established scholars with track records of producing good research, and have strong commitments to the study of race and research on race. It is a very timely publication, especially considering the political environment we are now in with laws being proposed in several states to ban discussion of race.
