Reader for Race and Ethnicity

Reader for Race and Ethnicity

This course reader was created to address characteristic shortcomings in many textbooks and popular discussions of race, ethnicity, and nationalism. These shortcomings consist of a number of intellectual "blind spots" or failures to address certain issues. These issues involve the failure to see the following: * race, ethnicity, and nationalism as fluid phenomena created and manipulated by people themselves * racism as a political project enforced by the State and society's upper class mainly for economic reasons * racism as involving not only the "stick" of repression but also the "carrot" of cooptation and opportunism * racism as a facilitator of imperialism * antiracism as a powerful evolving force which has changed the world for the better. The course reader is organized around each of these five points. -- from book's introduction
