Joseph F. Healey's Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class, Updated Fifth Edition builds upon the bestselling status of the four prior editions, praised for the author's writing style and the various effective pedagogical features that ensure students engage with core concepts in a meaningful way. With many updates and revisions, this edition once again uses sociological theory to tell the story of race and other socially constructed inequalities in the United States with consistency and clarity. Chapter-ending current debates based on the writings of prominent scholars spark classroom discussion on important issues, and first-person accounts, "Narrative Portraits," are threaded throughout the text to bring life to a variety of topics.
- The Obama Presidency: Can Barack Obama deliver the change he promises?
- Middle-Class Squeeze: Is more government aid needed?
- Gay Marriage Showdowns: Will voters bar marriage for same-sex couples?
These are just a few of the provocative questions contested in Issues in Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class. This engaging reader allows students to see an issue from all sides and to think critically about topics that matter to them. Classroom discussion will never be dull again!
