Race, ethnicity, gender, and class - Joseph F. Healey

Written in a clear, consistent style, the Fourth Edition of this bestselling textbook eloquently describes, and at times serves as a conduit for a broad spectrum of experiences related to race, ethnicity, gender and class. Featuring in-depth analyses of diversity within groups, as well as the multiple interactions between them, Joseph F Healey addresses the experiences of women, and many other minority groups, throughout the text.

New material is provided that analyzes the recent immigration trends in the United States, and well as new student-friendly features have been added such as: current debates at the end of each chapter that consider the ideas of and works of prominent figures in the area; and narrative portraits - first-person accounts that allow the student to study the human side of theory.

Joseph F. Healey is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Christopher Newport University in Virginia. He received his PhD in sociology and anthropology from the University of Virginia. An innovative and experienced teacher of numerous race and ethnicity courses, he has written articles on minority groups, the sociology of sport, social movements, and violence, and he is also the author of Statistics: A Tool for Social Research (10th ed., 2014).
