Riassunto

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. Race, Ethnicity, and Gender can be used as a stand-alone text or as a companion to Joseph Healey's Diversity & Society.
