Synopsis
RACE, CLASS, & GENDER: AN ANTHOLOGY demonstrates how the complex intersection between people's race, class, and gender (and also sexuality) shapes their experiences, and who they become as individuals. Accessible and diverse, this collection of writings by various scholars addresses important, timely, and often controversial topics, such as prison, affirmative action, Muslim life in America, and the working poor, to give students a glimpse of many different perspectives. Each of the text's four major parts also begins with an in-depth introduction--written by co-editors Andersen and Hill Collins--to provide an analytical framework for the articles and highlight key social issues., Intended for undergraduate- and graduate-level sociology courses, such as sociology of gender, women's studies, race and ethnic relations, introduction to sociology, social problems, and various multicultural/diversity/ethnic studies courses. Interdisciplinary courses may also use this book, such as anthropology, women's studies, African American studies, political science, education, counseling, social work, English, etc.
