Aprašymas

Derived from the Fourth Edition of Joseph F. Healey’s best-selling text Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class, the Second Edition of Diversity & Society: Race, Ethnicity, and Gender provides an accessible, jargon-free, 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.

New to the Second Edition
* Includes new coverage of minority groups and current issues: A new chapter (Chapter 9) on "new Americans" has been added, and this edition addresses new issues such as illegal immigration.
* Expands the material on "whiteness" and gender: Coverage of mixed race individuals and white racial identity is further developed. In addition, the material on gender, previously presented in boxed inserts, is now incorporated into chapter discussion.
* Provides the most up-to-date information and data: The Second Edition updates the research literature as well as the charts, graphs, and tables with recent information and data, while maintaining its student-friendly style.
