Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class
by Joseph F. Healey
Authors purpose: This text is an introduction to the sociology of minority-dominant relations and was written for students who do not have extensive backgrounds in the social sciences. I have tried to make the subject matter coherent to these students, in part by applying a unified set of themes and concepts throughout the text. The analysis is consistent and continuous, even while examining multiple perspectives and a variety of points of view. This subject matter is highly controversial and filled with drama, tragedy, and triumph. I have tried to deal with the issues and tell the stories behind the issues in a way that makes the text both a pleasure to read and a demonstration of the power and importance of thinking sociologically. -- Joseph F.

Choosing Ethnic Identity (Qty: 3)
Brand new. Choosing Ethnic Identity explores the ways in which people are able to choose their ethnic identities in contemporary multiethnic societies. Notions such as adopting an identity, or self-designated terms such as Black British and Asian American, suggest the importance of agency and choice for individuals. However, the actual range of ethnic identities available to individuals and the groups to which they belong are not wholly under their control. These identities must be negotiated in relation to both the wider society and coethnics. The ability of minority individuals and groups to assert or recreate their own self-images and ethnic identities, against the backdrop of ethnic and racial labeling by the wider society, is important for their self-esteem and social status. This book examines the ways in which ethnic minority groups and individuals can assert and negotiate ethnic identities of their choosing, and the constraints structuring such choices.
