Reorganized into four sections, this edition introduces the issues and ways in which sociologists see and define race, ethnicity and minority status; discusses the history and experiences of the various groups that comprise America; examines the nature of prejudice and patterns of discrimination; and explores issues of pluralism, power and politics. This edition includes material on Muslims (Arab and non-Arab), Latinos and Asians; more on the politics of resentment, multiculturalism and the debates over diversity on college campuses and elsewhere; and increased coverage of the significance of gender, and of the comparative nature of intergroup relations. A rewritten Chapter Ten includes a discussion of the rededication of the Ellis Island and the Million Man March, as well as a discussion of pluralism and the meaning of multiculturalism in modern America.
