Recognizing Race and Ethnicity Reviews

Fitzgerald invites the reader to think differently about popular, taken-for-granted ideas, and this book is a top choice for use in a course rooted in the study of race from the perspective of power, privilege, and inequality. Margaret Hagerman, Mississippi State University Fitzgerald's textbook is a must read for students and non-students interested in the whole story about race and ethnicity. Bobby Potters, University of Indianapolis Praise for the Previous Edition Readable and accessible without being unnecessarily watered down ... I particularly appreciate the use of specific examples that add context to each chapter while helping students understand the effects of structural race on their lives; the emphasis on white privilege across the book; and the inclusion of a section on self-reflexivity in every chapter. --David G. Embrick, Loyola University-Chicago An important part of any sociologist's library, Fitzgerald's text does not merely describe the racial order, but invites the reader to understand the salience of race and racism in our daily lives. --Matthew W. Hughey, University of Connecticut This book takes a bold new approach to the teaching of race and ethnicity that focuses on ideologies and institutions rather than individual groups. Kathleen Fitzgerald does an excellent job of incorporating recent theories and events. Accessible and engaging--a wonderful resource for teaching about race in the US! --Ashley (Woody) Doane, University of Hartford
