Illuminates how recent shifts in demographics, policy, culture and
thinking have changed how race is understood today The Complexities
of Race illustrates how several recent dynamics compel us to
reconsider race, racial identity, and racial inequality. It argues
that race and racism provide key but complex lenses through which
critical events and issues of any moment can be more fully
understood. The emergence of intersectionality, the rise of the
Black Lives Matter movement, changing ethnic and racial
demographics in the United States, and other forces challenge
prevailing values and narratives related to race. The volume
provides new and detailed snapshots of the diverse and complicated
ways that race, racism, racial identity, and racial justice are
represented, experienced, and addressed in America, offering new
ways of understanding the complex dynamics of power and systems of
oppression. Each chapter uses a current, real-world example to
demonstrate how race works in tandem with other locations of
identity, with the aim of showing that a single social identity is
rarely at play in issues of social inequality. The contributors
include scholars who have studied race, identity, racism, and
social justice for decades, as well as emerging researchers and
practitioners at the forefront of examining evolving topics related
to race, culture, and experiences of naming and belonging. This
exploration of pressing, current, and emerging issues offers the
depth, information, and clarity needed to understand many of the
questions left unanswered and issues avoided in current discussions
of race, identity, and racism, whether those discussions occur in
the classroom, in the boardroom, at the dining room table, or in
the streets of America. The Complexities of Race provides readers
with inspiration, information, and paths for moving the
understanding of race, identity, and social justice forward.
