John H. Stanfield II, a leading historian of Black social science,
distills decades of his research and thinking in a set of
articles--some original to the volume, others from fugitive
sources--that trace the trajectories of Black scholars and
scholarship in relationship to the broader African American
experience over the past two centuries. Stanfield's signature
contributions to this research tradition range from the role of
philanthropy in the study and life of African Americans to
institutional racism in sociology and the impacts of race on
scholarly careers. His analyses run from global formulations to
individual biographies, including his own, and stretch from the
early decades of social science to the present. This work creates a
nuanced historical context for reflective Black sociology that will
be of interest to social historians, sociologists, and scholars of
color from all disciplines.
This collection of original work demonstrates the new ways in which
particular research methodologies are used, valued and critiqued in
the field of race and ethnic studies. Contributing authors discuss
the ways in which their personal and professional histories and
experiences lead them to select and use particular methodologies
over the course of their careers. They then provide the
intellectual histories, strengths and weaknesses of these methods
as applied to issues of race and ethnicity and discuss the ethical,
practical, and epistemological issues that have influenced and
challenged their methodological principles and applications.
Through these rigorous self-examinations, this text presents a
dynamic example of how scholars engage both research methodologies
and issues of social justice and ethics. This volume is a successor
to Stanfield's landmark Race and Ethnicity in Research Methods.

John H. Stanfield II, the leading contemporary Black sociologist of
knowledge, distills decades of his research and thinking in a set
of articles--some original to the volume, others from fugitive
sources--that address race in the formation of epistemologies,
theories, and methodologies in social science. Stanfield's
contributions to the discipline, such as the adoption of
restorative justice as an anti-racism solution in multiracial
societies and the development of African diasporic sociological
reasoning, are highlighted here. Ranging widely across theoretical,
methodological, and substantive topics, Stanfield creates a
reflective sociology viewed through an African diasporic lens that
enriches the thinking and practice of social science.

This serial publication focuses more on theoretical than practical
analyses. It encourages historical as well as contemporary cases of
social policy development and implementation, and also stresses
unconventional interpretations of social policies.
Winner of the Outstanding Book Award on the subject matter of human
rights in North America by The Gustavus Myers Center While race
relations research is currently a central topic in most social
science disciplines, it was not long ago that it was a stigmatized,
understudied specialty. How this transformation took place is the
focus of this fascinating volume. Here, many of the key figures in
the post-World War II development of race research tell their own
stories--of their experiences with race and racism, of the
developing interest in understanding race as a social force, and of
the major milestones that established it as a legitimate research
domain. Through a mixture of personal and intellectual biographical
information by such noted figures as Bob Blauner, Daniel Fusfeld,
Milton Gordon, Lewis Killian, Harry Kitano, Hyland Lewis, Stanley
Lieberson, Thomas Pettigrew, Richard Robbins, Peter Rose, Pierre
van den Berghe, and Frank Westie, this collection of life histories
gives the reader an insider's history of this exciting field of
study. For students and professionals across the social sciences,
this book is a must.

Studying across race and ethnic lines creates many problems for the researcher. These problems involve practical, strategic, ethical, and epistemological questions alike. The contributors to Race and Ethnicity in Research Methods, most of them scholars of color, examine the array of methods used in quantitative, qualitative, and comparative/historical research to show how ethnic-sensitive research can best be carried out. Among the methodological traditions discussed are survey research, demography, testing and assessment, ethnography, discourse analysis, comparative methods, and archival research. Of interest not only to the researcher and instructor of race and ethnic studies, this volume should be of equal value to social scientists interested in teaching or practicing any form of research that needs to properly address issues of race and ethnicity. "This comprehensive guide will be an invaluable resource for anyone who teaches and/or is engaged in research in the field of race and ethnicity." --Behavioural Psychotherapy "I highly recommend this volume for those researchers who are genuinely interested in producing better and more creative solutions to some of the issues and problems involving racial and ethnic minority groups." --Journal of Marketing Research "In Race and Ethnicity in Research Methods, John H. Stanfield II and Rutledge M. Dennis call for serious and rigorous treatment of the subject which sheds the journalistic style, narrow focus, and cultural bias of much of past research. . . . They bring together 13 articles that reveal the rich diversity of methods available for researching ethnic groups and ethnic relations. . . . There is a healthy dose of multidisciplinarity. . . . The book is essential for U.S. race and ethnic researchers who seek to avoid the narrowness and pitfalls of much past research. I would recommend this book for research seminars on race and ethnic relations specifically and for general methodology courses which seek to present the diversity of approaches to sociological issues." --Contemporary Sociology "This book contains essays that will stimulate much discussion among scholars while providing practical, ethical, and strategic methodological considerations for conducting research across racial and ethnic lines." --Nursing Research
