Editorial Reviews
Review
“Race, Identity, and Citizenship provide a much-needed critical perspective on race and radicalized inequalities in contemporary capitalist society. It is an outstanding collection which will prove enormously useful to both established scholars in the field and young students.” Avery Gordon, University of California, Santa Barbara
"A thoughtful introduction to current intellectual discourse and decisive policy issues regarding race and ethnicity in a global context." Jose Hernandez, City University of New York
Book Description
Provides a compelling series of comparative analyses of race, ethnicity, & culture at a time when boundaries designating racialized groups are being radically redrawn. This volume moves beyond the black/white focus to address the diversity of identities & histories & thus provides a state of the art commentary on the theorization of this field.

This review is from: Race, Identity and Citizenship: A Reader (Blackwell Readers in Sociology) (Paperback)
Practitioner fields inevitably overlap in social science professions, making it impossible to effectively study how goverment and people impact each other without considering the social stratification and classification of inter-related groups. Past mono-discipline efforts understandably released incomplete, contradictory, and ultimately unhelpful studies. The picture generated only represented a selective fraction of what actually existed. Miron, Torres and Inda eloquently bring historically separate social science disciplines together for social change where other people have previously and currently failed. Ranging from case studies to quantitative analysis, the collection essays examine why race and ethnicity continue to be a controversial part of America. Bureaucrats and their constituents react negatively (even with open hostilities) because we subconciously fear what is different from our own immediate enviroment. It is also easier to blame these different groups for our real and percieved misfortune (such as the overseas relocation of factory jobs) than to critically examine the specifics of initially benign-sounding policies and our own (quiet) compliance for not applying the critical eye. Aidia Hurtado's essay "The trickster's play" exposes the racism 'liberal' whites inadvertently engage in when they telling people of color just how damaged they are by racism and attempt to negate the critical different experiences between various ethnicities through 'color-blind' policies, subconciously denying racism's very existence. Although other works such as This Bridge Called My Back (1982) do a far more comprehensive job of intergrating women of color into their policy prescriptions, the section on gender pointedly reminds readers they are constantly obligated to consider how gender and other subordinate idenities intrsect with each other. In the sociopolitical hierarcy of American society, the low income non-white woman was historically (and currently) branded as the least valuable society member. It is most telling that the same perpetrators are only begining to be held accountable now, but the global community clearly has a long way to go.
