"A balanced and thorough look at the United States' most important contemporary raceissues, with timely content and excellent supporting documentation." - Library Journal
This book is an essential resource for anyone who wants to understand race in America, drawing on research from a variety of fields to answer frequently asked questions regarding race relations, systemic racism, and racial inequality.
Readers will gain a better understanding of high-interest topics such as white privilege, racial bias in criminal justice, media bias, housing segregation, educational inequality, disparities in employment, racial stereotypes, and personal attitudes about race and ethnicity in America. The authors draw from scholarly research in biology, genetics, medicine, sociology, psychology, anthropology, and economics to answer these questions, and in doing so they prepare readers to enter any conversation about American race relations in the 21st century as informed citizens.
