Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a cultural anthropologist and teach the Anthropology of Race & Ethnicity at the undergraduate level in Miami, Florida, and I find this book to be perfect for this. It is written in clear language that is accessible to undergraduate students, and organized in a logical sequence like a good text book, but each chapter is written by a different expert in the particular topic that the chapter covers. In this way it is not "typical" for a textbook, but more like an anthology on Race & Ethnicity. My only problem with it is that it was published in 2003, and I understand it is only available now as a "print on demand" product, or used. I would love to know if there are plans to reprint an updated edition. I will continue assigning this title over and over in my Anthropology of Race and Ethnicity classes.

Covering basic concepts and research, this book presents state of the art, highly readable essays on both the theoretical issues and empirical studies of race and ethnicity in the U.S. and throughout the world. It introduces the concepts of race, the fallacies of scientific racism, and theoretical perspectives on ethnicity—followed by fourteen chapters that share the empirical findings of anthropologists on race and ethnicity in the U.S. and the world. For individuals interested in getting a global perspective on race and ethnic relations, and reducing some of the superficial media-based characterizations and representations of race and ethnic issues throughout the world.
