An introductory survey covering basic concepts and research, this text presents state of the art essays on both the theoretical issues and empirical studies of race and ethnicity in the U.S. and throughout the world. It introduces the concepts of race, the fallacies of scientific racism, and theoretical perspectives on ethnicity—followed by fourteen chapters that detail the empirical findings of anthropologists on race and ethnicity in the U.S. and the world.

• An anthropological understanding of race and ethnicity.

  • Provides students with the race and ethnicity issues that have had an immense effect on both U.S. and global political trends, and have created innumerable tensions and misunderstandings among different groups.

• State of the art, highly readable essays written by anthropologists, about ethnic minorities in the U.S.

  • Assembles first hand perspectives of various areas of the world to give students a foundation for critically assessing their own society, and assist them in building a global perspective on race and ethnicity relations.

• A global focus—Features essay contributions by anthropologists who have completed in-depth ethnographic fieldwork with different ethnic groups.

  • Helps eliminate simplistic outmoded stereotypes and naive characterizations and representations of different ethnic minorities in the U.S.

• Essay on the concept of race.

  • Provides students with a sound assessment of the paleoanthropological, archaeological, biological, and genetic research on race, and reveals the untruths of many unsophisticated and simplistic approaches to understanding race.

• A chapter devoted to ethnicity—Addresses concepts and theories of assimilation; pluralism; prejudice; discrimination; primordialist and circumstantialist approaches, and more.

  • Offers students an understanding of the anthropological concept of culture and how it provides for the basis of ethnicity, and introduces other concepts that serve as a foundation for understanding ethnic identity issues throughout the world.

• Treatment of the history of scientific racism—Demonstrates how these simplistic forms of scientific racism have been used to perpetuate racism in U.S. society and elsewhere.

  • Shows students how it emerged as a means of promoting simplistic understandings of race and culture—which have fostered forms of racism and misunderstandings throughout the world.

• A provocative essay on the research of psychological anthropologists—And others who have been investigating the universality or naturalism of ethnicity and ethnocentrism.

  • Requires students to engage in a great deal of critical thinking.

• Contemporary ethnographic research—On race and ethnic trends.

  • Presents students with a more general understanding of the race and ethnic trends throughout regions, rather than just providing historical detail of the region.

• Student-friendly writing style and content.

  • Provides students and instructors with a text that can be used by a diverse student population of non-anthropology majors.
