Situating the study of race and ethnicity within its historical and
intellectual context, this much needed guide exposes students to the
broad diversity of scholarship within the field. It provides a clear and
succinct explanation of more than 70 key terms, their conceptual
evolution over time, and the differing ways in which the concepts are
deployed or remain pertinent in current debates. Concepts covered
include:
- apartheid
- colonialism
- constructivism
- critical race theory
- eugenics
- hybridity
- Islamophobia
- new/modern racism
- reparations
- transnationalism.
Fully cross-referenced and with suggestions for further reading, Race
and Ethnicity: The Key Concepts is an ideal resource for undergraduate
and postgraduate students of race, ethnicity, and nationalism. It will
also be of great interest for those studying sociology, anthropology,
politics, and cultural studies.
