The text that has been very popular among undergraduate students studying race and ethnicity has been updated and revised in this new Fourth Edition ! Written in a clear, consistent style, this best-selling text eloquently describes and, at times, serves as a conduit for a broad spectrum of experiences related to race, ethnicity, gender, and class. Author Joseph F. Healey uses sociological theory to tell the story of race and other socially constructed inequalities in the United States with consistency and clarity.
