4.0 out of 5 starsGood basic survey on various U.S. ethnic groups
By Vato-Curandero on April 28, 2005
Format: Hardcover
Joe Feagin is one of America's foremost scholars in the area of racial/ethnic conflict and inequality. His latest textbook, "Racial and Ethnic Relations," is a very informative book detailing the multicultural history of the United States and the populating of the country by various ethnic groups from colonial days up to the present.

What do I like about this book? First off, Feagin provides an extremely detailed ethno-historical account for many different groups. You simply have to open up the book and read to see what I am talking about.

Second, Feagin provides a very good, in-depth account of the early colonial era in America. He discusses the English/British migrations in the 17th and 18th centuries and how this colonizing population established the Anglo-Saxon cultural core which became the dominant, standard American culture that all other immigrant and ethnic groups were measured to. This is extremely important because far too often, sociology/anthropology coures on this subject matter ignore that social construction of racial categories and racial thinking - assuming, erroneously, that such categories are a priori. This is utterly wrong and historically inaccurate. The Irish in the 19th century and Eastern Europeans in the early 20th century originally were viewed as members of distinct races. During this period in history, the racial category "white" was used to denote White Anglo-Saxon Protestants; Jews, Poles, and Catholics were regarded as racially inferior and intellectual lessers than WASPs. It was not until after World War II that white ethnic Americans came to be incorporated as full members of the "white" race.

Third, Feagin includes a chapter on Arab Americans.Read more ›

This is a fine text for a racial and ethnic studies course. It deals with major players and ethnic groups and provides in depth definitions.

1.0 out of 5 starsAwful.... simply awful... can I give it -stars???
By Michael Reichenberger on February 15, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I was required to read this book for a class and was very upset after every reading session. The authors breed hatred and contempt for other races regardless of the culture of the reader. There are NUMEROUS unsupported statements of fact, and countless radical opinions. Worst $3.00 I have ever spent... seriously...

3.0 out of 5 starsVery detailed
By Brittiny Krause on June 24, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This book had a lot of very good facts and history about ethnic relations, however I found it very tedious and time consuming for my adult bachelor study. It it definately a go to book for facts related to any race or ethnicity on every subject within but it is a little to detailed to have to read and take notes on for an intense bachelor program.

I had to purchase this book for class, but I really enjoyed it. I like how it gives you an overview of different ethnicity and their story when coming to America. I learned a lot about my self, so I recommend it!

2.0 out of 5 starsLarge amount of information but little organization
By Justin Laney on March 1, 2010
Format: Hardcover
This book is a good text book on the user in that their is a large amount of information worded well and is easy to understand and rarely hard to read. Yet at the same time the chapters have no end of chapter wrap up to allow for easy studying on the fly. Most sociology books ive used had had this in my collage courses and it allowed you to study a few pages of concentrated information and read the rest of the text if i had a hard time grasping the concepts presented. What makes this worse is the book doesn't have key terms often in bold and the text is very very wordy and has to many examples and seems to go into recursive loops of examples of the same ideals the entire chapter. I cant really recommend this book, its painful to read and i like to learn if its handled correctly but this book doesn't.

The book is entirely highlighted, has scribbled notes everywhere and worn down. Although the description said it had no highlights and no notes. It wasn't worth it at alllllll!!!!! Only reason I didn't return it was cuz I already had homework for the class
