About the book
Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer have written a textbook on race relations for the twenty-first century. Every chapter of "Race in America" examines how racism intersects with other forms of social division -- those based on gender, class, sexuality, ability, religion, and nationhood -- as well as how whiteness surrounds us in unnamed ways that produce and reproduce a multitude of privileges for white people. Featuring a table of contents that is organized around race and racism in different aspects of social life, "Race in America" explores the connections between individual and institution, past and present, and the powerful and the powerless. -- From publisher's description.
