First published in 1989, Race-Ethnicity and Society comes as a usable and comprehensive text on race and ethnicity in the United States. Ringer and Lawless set out to fill the gap in the literature by incorporating the “positive lessons” of the racially turbulent 1960's and 70s. Proposing a challenge to three conventional premises of many texts, they argue that the treatment of racial minorities in America was qualitatively different from that experienced by the white immigrants; that racism was not a mere aberration in American Society but was built into the very foundations of the society; and that America's experience with minorities was not unique but can instead be located within the mainstream of European expansion and conquest.

Race-Ethnicity and Society will be a standard source for students in the fields of sociology, history, and political science.

Recenzijos

The book sets out to learn some constructive lessons from the racial and ethnic strife of the 1960s and 1970s. The book does provide some new conceptualizations, and it does extend its scope to include Afro -Americans, Native Americans, Chinese, Japanese, and Puerto Ricans in the United States. It briefly compares their experiences to those of racial and ethnic groups in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and a number of Latin American countries. The goal is to develop a general model for the comparative analysis of race and ethnic relations in societies that were products of or influenced by the five centuries of white European expansion (p.xvi). To that end, the book is reasonably successful.
