Diversity and Society: Race, Ethnicity, and Gender - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

Derived from the Fifth Edition of Joseph F. Healey's best-selling text "Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class", the "Third Edition of Diversity & Society: Race, Ethnicity, and Gender" provides an accessible sociological analysis of U.S. minority groups. Updated throughout, this abbreviated edition retains the conceptual frameworks and organizational format of the larger version, and is the only brief text to present a unitary sociological frame of reference for the analysis of minority-dominant relations. Following are the features and benefits: the brevity and cost allow an instructor to supplement the text with other books; 'focus' boxes in chapters offer enhanced coverage of gender and comparative issues; review questions and web-based research exercises at the ends of chapters help focus students on the key ideas; and, a chapter on 'Whiteness'. The accompanying reader will have expanded versions of Narrative Portraits and Current Debates from the big book, as well as additional readings. The reader is intended to be sold as a stand-alone or as part of a bundled kit. New to this Edition include: enhanced coverage of mixed race in Chapter 1 and in each of the racial/ethnic groups chapters; enhanced coverage of gender throughout; expanded coverage of immigration; 'Focus On' feature, which will provide more in depth examples for students; 'Roots', a feature wherein students will tell their personal stories of family heritage; comparative insets, wherein students will gain a global perspective on current issues; and, new 2-color design.
