Theories of Race and Racism A Reader

This comprehensive reader brings together foundational work in the study of race and ethnicity and writings. It is divided into the following main sections: origins and transformations; sociology, race and social theory; racism and anti-semitism; colonialism, race and the other; feminism, difference and identity; and changing boundaries and spaces. Each section begins with a brief editorial introduction, providing a guide to the readings in that section by historically contextualizing them and relating them to other writings in the reader. Cross-national in content, historical in scope and offering a variety of perspectives, this book should be a useful resource for undergraduates across a range of disciplines.
