Race, Ethnicity, and Gender: Selected Readings

Book Overview

How should we respond to the challenges of diversity? Race, Ethnicity, and Gender: Selected Readings addresses this question and examines how the United States is growing increasingly diverse in terms of ethnicity, race, gender, language, and culture. Editors Joseph F. Healey and Eileen O′Brien provide a unique blend of diverse voices, perspectives, and research on a broad range of race, ethnicity, and gender topics.

Derived in part from the Third Edition of Joseph Healey′s best-selling text Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class, this anthology includes expanded and updated versions of the Current Debates, as well as new, additional readings carefully chosen from the research literature. Interweaving first-person experience and controversial topics, this reader reviews racial progress and failure in American society and examines the many cultures that make up society. The book recalls the mass migration to the United States from Europe and includes sections on specific ethnic groups such as African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans.

Race, Ethnicity, and Gender

can be used as a stand-alone text or as a companion to Joseph Healey′s Diversity & Society and is recommended for undergraduate students studying race and ethnicity, diversity, race relations, ethnic relations, inequality, and gender studies.

Spectacular DIverse Perspectives Presented

As a professor who engages the multiethnic and multicultural cannon for my courses, I was extremely pleased to find such a volume with a cadre of diverse perspectives presented so cogently. Gender as a focus is given its due, and its influence on other issues of diversity is well stated and reviewed. Other tough issues, such as white male supremacy are written about and discussed without rancor, just with evidence for that perspective and with strategies for de-emphasizing it within the academy and within American society in general. I have recommended this volume to my masters and doctoral students.
