Reviews"Golash-Boza does an excellent job of providing examples that reflect the social, demographic, and cultural diversity of the United States. I'm very excited that she went beyond the classical theorists and included critical race scholars, Chicano scholars, etc. This is a very engaging text that forces students to participate in a level of dialogue that they have rarely experienced."--Maria Isabel Ayala, Michigan State University "This textbook's very compelling coverage makes it stand out. The way in which Golash-Boza develops the history and ideology is fresh and relevant; it engages students in a new way. The book provides a good grounding in theory and the construction of race in society."--Santos Torres, Jr., California State University, Sacramento "Race and Racisms is comprehensive but not so dense as to intimidate students. I like that the book takes a thematic approach versus a chapter breakdown of different racial and ethnic groups (which I find to be essentialist and problematic). It covers a lot of ground, which makes it ideal to incorporate into a variety of courses."--Jean Beaman, Purdue University
