"This book is very well written and clearly organized throughout.
It is pitched at upper-level undergraduate and graduate-level race
and ethnicity students...in sum, this is an important book, highly
recommended to students and faculty alike. The authors draw
extensively from classic and contemporary sociological theory
throughout the text and maintain a transnational focus in each and
every chapter." -TEACHING SOCIOLOGY "I used Cornell's earlier
edition for years and consider it to be one of the best
explanations/ examinations of race and ethnic relations
around."-Margot Kempers, Fitchburg State College Ethnicity and
Race: Making Identities in a Changing World, Second Edition uses
examples and extended case studies from all over the world to craft
a compelling, even-handed account of the power and persistence of
ethnicity and race in the contemporary world. Known for its
conceptual clarity, world-historical scope, and fair-minded
treatment of these oft controversial topics, this updated and
expanded edition retains all of the core elements and
constructionist insights of the original. New to the Second
Edition: Provides new concrete examples from around the world:
Dozens of new examples have been added, including extended case
studies of ethnic/identity construction in the former Yugoslavia,
South Africa, and New Zealand. In addition, several new sections
discuss treatments of neo-assimilation and segmented assimilation,
and the invisibility of racial dominance. Incorporates the latest
research and thinking in the field: Motivated by the suburban
uprisings of 2005, an extended case study of race, culture, and
belonging in contemporary France is fashioned. The theoretical
underpinnings of this unique synthesis of race and ethnicity are
sharpened throughout the volume, and the authors incorporate some
of their own recent work on ethnic and racial analytic frames to
sketch out broader implications for the field and possibilities for
the future. Discusses the emergence of modernity and globalization:
The authors demonstrate why ethnic and racial boundaries over the
last 30 years and contrary to earlier, optimistic predictions have
become stronger and more strident under the pressures of
modernization, mass communication, and secularization. The book
concludes by discussing how the downward spiral of hate and
separateness can be halted, and even reversed. Intended Audience:
This influential text is ideal for advanced undergraduate courses
on race and ethnicity such as American Race Relations; Racial and
Ethnic Relations; Ethnic Conflict; Comparative Race Relations;
Cultural Diversity; Immigration Studies in the departments of
Sociology, Ethnic Studies, Global Studies, and Anthropology.
