At a time when movements for racial justice are front and center in
U.S. national politics, this book provides essential new
understanding to the study of race, its influence on people's
lives, and what we can do to address the persistent and
foundational American problem of systemic racism. Knowledge about
race and racism changes as social and historical conditions evolve,
as different generations of scholars experience unique societal
conditions, and as new voices from those who have previously been
kept at the margins have challenged us to reconceive our thinking
about race and ethnicity. In this collection of essays by prominent
sociologists whose work has transformed the understanding of race
and ethnicity, each reflects on their career and how their personal
experiences have shaped their contribution to understanding racism,
both in scholarly and public debate. Merging biography, memoir, and
sociohistorical analysis, these essays provide vital insight into
the influence of race on people's perspectives and opportunities
both inside and outside of academia, and how racial inequality is
felt, experienced, and confronted.
