Race and Ethnicity was a great learning tool to any mulitculture class, it helped give insight to America's race relations.

I used this book for a class in race ethics and cultural diversity. This book had interesting statistics that drew me into this class! The wording was a bit small and sometimes the book droned out defintions without fully explaining in-depth details. If you gotta take it for a class, then it's better to get it from Amazon.

I really liked the conditions and the arrival of this book. Plus amazon it was more affordable than other websites. Amazon rocks.........................

This book was used as text for an Intro to Ethnic Studies class. It provides a lot of good information, and hits on many aspects of the social issues and complexities of race and ethnicity. It reads surprisingly easy, and as long as you're not one of those "I don't see race, it doesn't exist anymore!" fools who thinks ignoring issues is a valid way to address them, you will have no problem understanding the concise supported information laid out. My only issue is that there is a Graph in the beginning of the text (I think it's on the front cover aswell) that projects that Indigenous people of America will be extinct in the near future. I understand they are using this graph to illustrate the limited population that Native communities have around the country but they are strong and resourceful as any people on the planet, and are (especially within the last 15 years) providing means to support their communities.
