Book Synopsis Race in Society by : Margaret L. Andersen
Download or read book Race in Society written by Margaret L. Andersen and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2021-03-22 with total page 435 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of Race in Society analyzes the social dynamics of systemic racism and the persistence of racial inequality in US institutions. The book is informed by contemporary social science research and includes the most recent studies on racial disparities during the COVID pandemic and current racial protests. Race in Society is intended for courses in the sociology of race and ethnicity and can be used in other social science and interdisciplinary courses. Its accessible writing style, student friendly approach, and brevity make it attractive to instructors who want to pair it with other monographs or anthologies. Four themes guide the organization of the book: the social construction of race and ethnicity, as they evolve within systems of power and privilege; the social dynamics of prejudice, bias, and racism; the systemic character of racial inequality in US social institutions; and, strategies for social change, especially as the United States becomes increasingly racially and ethnically diverse. A new feature in the second edition, “Taking Action against Racism,” will appeal to students who want to know what they can do to challenge racism. New to this edition: New preface and introduction Chapter 2 has been updated to include new research on the significance of racial resentment, as well as discussion of racial backlash and white rage Chapter 3 includes current data on the inclusion of people of color in media organization and media usage by diverse groups New material in Chapter 4 on multiracial identities and multiracial relationships Chapter 5 includes current attitudinal data on immigration, all of which reflects evolving US politics about immigration, the border wall, and national borders. Chapter 6 features a section on colonialism and postcolonial theory, as well as an extended discussion of intersectional theory Chapter 7 has been updated throughout to reflect both the ongoing economic and work disparities based on race, but also to note the disparate impact of economic change brought by the pandemic on people of color in low wage service jobs Chapter 9 includes updated information on residential and educational segregation. There is also new material on the racial achievement gap and how that is likely to be affected by school closures during the pandemic Chapter 10 opens with evidence of the huge racial disparities that have been sadly, but vividly, unveiled by the COVID pandemic Chapter 11 has been updated to reflect current national discussions and policing and police violence “Taking Action against Racism” is included at the end of each chapter to suggest how people can make a difference through action against racial injustice Updated charts, graphs, and new data are featured throughout

Download or read book Race and Work written by Karyn Loscocco and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a reasoned, unflinching description of how race and paid work are linked in U.S. society. It offers readers the rich conceptual and empirical foundation needed to understand key issues surrounding both race and work. Loscocco trace current patterns to their historical roots, showing that the work lives of women and men from different race and ethnic groups have always been interrelated. The chapters document the U.S.’s multicultural labor history, discuss how labor markets and jobs became segregated, and analyze key racial-ethnic patterns in work opportunities. The book also addresses common misconceptions about why women and men from some racial-ethnic groups end up with better jobs than others. It closes with a look at contemporary developments and suggests steps toward a future in which race-ethnicity will no longer affect work opportunities and experiences. Race and Work deepens understanding and elevates the discussion of race, racism, and work in an engaging, accessible style. It will be an essential resource for anyone interested in work, race-ethnicity, social inequality, or intersections among race, gender, and class.

Book Synopsis White Privilege by : Paula S. Rothenberg
Download or read book White Privilege written by Paula S. Rothenberg and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2004-06-25 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies of racism often focus on its devastating effects on the victims of prejudice. But no discussion of race is complete without exploring the other side--the ways in which some people or groups actually benefit, deliberately or inadvertently, from racial bias. White Privilege, Second Edition, the revision to the ground-breaking anthology from Paula Rothenberg, continues her efforts from the first edition. Two new essays contribute to the discussion of the nature and history of white power. The concluding section again challenges readers to explore ideas for using the power and the concept of white privilege to help combat racism in their own lives. Brief, inexpensive, and easily integrated with other texts, this interdisciplinary collection of commonsense, non-rhetorical readings lets educators incorporate discussions of whiteness and white privilege into a variety of disciplines, including sociology, English composition, psychology, social work, women's studies, political science, and American studies.

As in the parent text, the Essentials version does more than introduce students to the statistical techniques used by social scientists.

With a wide range of examples and exercises taken from current events and published research, frequent illustrations, and a focus on student learning, this book continues to be an accessible and engaging resource for students. "I think this textbook is incredibly readable. It presents statistics in a manner that is easy to grasp and comprehend but is still rigorous in terms of the content covered." —Amy Lucas, University of Houston–Clear Lake A Complete Teaching & Learning Package SAGE edge FREE online resources for students that make learning easier.
