Summary:Race, Class, and Gender includes interdisciplinary readings. The articles show how race, class, and gender shape people's experiences, and help students to see the issues in an analytic, as well as descriptive, way. The book also provides conceptual grounding in understanding race, class, and gender; has a historical and sociological perspective; and includes conceptual introductions by the authors. Students may gain the most from the introduction sections that highlight key points and relate the essential concepts. Included in the collection are narratives aimed at building empathy, and articles on social issues such as imprisonment, affirmative action, poverty, immigration, and racism.
