Ethnic Studies: Critical Fundamentals

ETHNIC STUDIES: CRITICAL FUNDAMENTALS is a balanced interdisciplinary textbook for introductory ethnic studies courses, incorporating the very latest research in critical race studies, sociology, history, psychology, and anthropology. ETHNIC STUDIES: CRITICAL FUNDAMENTALS is the first textbook to balance both the biological and anthropological perspectives on the myth of race; the history of racial formation in western culture and particularly in the U.S.; psychological insights into identity, cognition, and prejudice; and critical race understandings of racist structures including economics, politics, and physical segregation. It draws on years of classroom experience teaching introductory courses in ethnic studies to touch on those issues most relevant to today's students.ETHNIC STUDIES: CRITICAL FUNDAMENTALS was written both to address the lack of comprehensive textbooks for introductory ethnic studies courses and to lower student costs. For this reason,ETHNIC STUDIES: CRITICAL FUNDAMENTALS sells for under $20.
