How is race defined and perceived in America today, and how do
these definitions and perceptions compare to attitudes 100 years
ago... or 200 years ago? This four-volume set is the definitive
source for every topic related to race in the United States. In the
21st century, it is easy for some students and readers to believe
that racism is a thing of the past; in reality, old wounds have yet
to heal, and new forms of racism are taking shape. Racism has
played a role in American society since the founding of the nation,
in spite of the words "all men are created equal" within the
Declaration of Independence. This set is the largest and most
complete of its kind, covering every facet of race relations in the
United States while providing information in a user-friendly format
that allows easy cross-referencing of related topics for efficient
research and learning. The work serves as an accessible tool for
high school researchers, provides important material for
undergraduate students enrolled in a variety of humanities and
social sciences courses, and is an outstanding ready reference for
race scholars. The entries provide readers with comprehensive
content supplemented by historical backgrounds, relevant examples
from primary documents, and first-hand accounts. Information is
presented to interest and appeal to readers but also to support
critical inquiry and understanding. A fourth volume of related
primary documents supplies additional reading and resources for
research.
