Summary:

"Ẁhy are racial and ethnicidentities, along with racism and ethnic chauvinism, so tenacious in the contemporary world? Why do lines of racial and economic exclusion continue to converge? Do we have the appropriate analytical tools to make sense of the manner and purchase of race and ethnicity? This important handbook provides a clear, accessible and incisive survey of debate and research on such questions, at the heart of the burgeoning field of race and ethnicity studies.' Deborah Posel, Director, Institute for Humanities in Africa (HUMA) and Professor of Sociology, University of Cape Town" "What is the state of Race and Ethnic Studies today? How has the field emerged? What are the core concepts, debates and issues?" "This panoramic, critical survey of the field supplies researchers and students with a vital resource. It is a rigorous, focused examination of the central questions in the field today." "Planned and edited by a distinguished team of Anglo-American scholars, the Handbook pools an impressive range of international world class expertise and insight." "It provides a landmark work in the field which will be the measure of debate and research for years to come." "Ìn the 21st century racism continues to be alive and kicking. This well written handbook, a landmark, situates a range of contemporary expressions of race, ethnicity, racism and resistance in a global context. Substantial chapters provide breadth, depth and clarity to questions that remain contested in spite of decennia of race critical research. Collins and Solomos combine editorial excellence in producing a solid handbook with a concluding chapter mapping out the challenges for the 21st century. The SAGE Handbook of Race and Ethnic Studies is an absolutely recommendable source for students and scholars across the social sciences.' Philomena Essed, Professor of Critical Race, Gender and Leadership Studies, Antioch University" "Ìn the SAGE Handbook, Collins and Solomos have composed a compelling volume that speaks to the central issues of race and ethnicity today. They include a vibrant mix of established and emerging voices addressing the principal and pressing contemporary conceptual and theoretical questions regarding race and ethnicity. These include the ways in which race, class, gender and the nation are taken up in the dominant disciplines of the humanities and social sciences, law and critical race theory, family, religions, education, the state, repression and resistance. This is a collection both educators and researchers concerned with race and ethinicity will want to consult.' David Theo Goldberg, Director, University of California Humanities Research Institute, and Professor of Comparative Literature and Criminology, Law and Society, University of California, Irvine"--BOOK JACKET.
