ABOUT BOOK

Short Description:This Open Educational Resource textbook on racial and ethnic diversity is innovative and timely. The author, a sociology Ph.D. at an Ohio two-year college, provides a well-researched and detailed introduction to this topic. In addition to the sociological approach, the textbook uses a comparative approach, discussing U.S. diversity in international and historical perspective, especially in terms of North America's many political, economic, and social relationships with Latin America. This comparative approach is especially important for today's students, given the current Hispanicization of the U.S.
