ETHNIC AMERICA: Readings in Race, Class, and Gender, by Rita Cameron Wedding, Eric Vega,& Gregory Yee Mark, takes an interdisciplinary approach to discussing race, class, and gender issues in the United States. Covering dysfunctions, theory, and current events, this book is a compilation of recent articles in the field of Ethnic America. Specific articles dealing with the history of African-American, Asian Pacific Red Indians, Native Americans, and Latinos provides a grounding for students to analyze propositions raised in more traditional sociology and anthropology classes. Following each section is a set of questions that help the reader to structure their understanding of race, class, and gender issues in the United States. These questions target two distinct audiences: students of Ethnic Studies and social justice activities. Articles covering concepts such as ethnic groups, racism, color blindness, and inter-sectionality are presented in an easy-to-understand format.
