For one semester/one quarter Sociology courses in Race and Ethnic Relations.

Richard Schaefer grew up in Chicago in the 1960's, at a time when neighborhoods were going through transitions in ethnic and racial composition.  He found himself fascinated by what was happening, how people were reacting, and how these changes were affecting neighborhoods and people's jobs.  These experiences led to a career in sociolog, and he is now a leading scholar on racial and ethnic relations.

This book grew out of his desire to help students to understand the changing dynamics of the U.S. population. This text is an accessible, comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the issues confronting racial and ethnic groups in both the U.S. and other countries. Organized first by issues and then by major racial and ethnic groups. The text examines each group’s history, explores its current situation, and its concerns for the future.

liberal ? - It covers prejudice, discrimination, behavior, attitudes, races, national themes, and whiteness. It looks unique although there may be some subliminal liberal bias toward sexual orientation. Charts have dates.

Amazing - This is another great book. I have been enjoying every chapter, and the material is very interesting and easy to understand. Sometimes there are books at there that writers used strong vocabulary to make their writing unique, but this could be a problem because not every one in society had the same amount of education; therefore, it could be difficult for some people to understand unless they have a dictionary by their sides. I have indeed enjoyed every chapter, and I would indeed buy another book from this author, great information.
