It is extraordinarily well-organized, well-written, and rigorously inclusive."--Marisela Martinez-Cola, lUtah State University"This is the leading textbook on critical perspectives on race and racism in sociology. It is far ahead of competitors that focus on race/ethnic groups."--Juan Salinas, lSonoma State University "This is a book for teachers who are interested in preparing their students to develop the skills and tools to not only use identity and understand key historical moments, theoretical frameworks, and approaches to race and ethnicity, but to also enter the world and talk about race." --Edelina Burciaga, lUC-Denver About the Author Tanya Maria Golash-Boza is Professor of Sociology at University of California-Merced.
