Product Description
P style="MARGIN: 0px"IFor one semester/one quarter Sociology courses in Race and Ethnic Relations./I/P P style="MARGIN: 0px" /P P style="MARGIN: 0px"Richard Schaefer grew up in Chicago in the 1960's, at a time when neighborhoods were going through transitions in ethnic and racial composition. He found himself fascinated by what was happening, how people were reacting, and how these changes were affecting neighborhoods and people's jobs. These experiences led to a career in sociolog, and he is now a leading scholar on racial and ethnic relations./P P style="MARGIN: 0px" /P P style="MARGIN: 0px"This book grew out of his desire to help students to understand the changing dynamics of the U.S. population. This text is an accessible, comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the issues confronting racial and ethnic groups in both the U.S. and other countries. Organized first by issues and then by major racial and ethnic groups. The text examines each grouprsquo;s history, explores its current situation, and its concerns for the future./P

Good for beginners October 1, 2008
This is a great book for those who have already studied in a basic Sociology course and would like to broaden his/her studies on Race, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism. This textbook is nicely organized and is written in a simple, straight-forward way.

Thankfully my college has a textbook rental system, but I think that if I were required to purchase this book, it is one that I would actually end up keeping. I have never really been able to sit down and read a textbook, but this one is different. br /br /It may just be personal opinion, but I think that learning about the origins and evolution of various racial/ethnic/religious groups is incredibly interesting. I feel that Schaefer's presentation of the mateiral is very comprehensive (but not overly detailed) and, as far as I can tell, free of bias. A wide spectrum of groups are covered, the material is easy to read, and the graphics in the text--especially the charts and maps--help visually represent the text. br /br /Overall, I think that this is one of the best textbooks that I have come into contact with, and I would highly recommend it.
