About this book

Racial and Ethnic Groups 15th edition by Richard T. Schaefer examines race and ethnicity through sociological analysis of inequality, group relations, identity, immigration, and social change. The book explains how historical events, institutions, public policy, culture, and everyday interactions influence the experiences of racial and ethnic groups and shape patterns of opportunity and disadvantage.

The 15th edition covers prejudice, discrimination, institutional inequality, assimilation, pluralism, immigration, economic stratification, political participation, education, religion, family life, health, and intergroup relations. It also examines the experiences of major racial and ethnic populations in the United States, including African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, Arab Americans, Jewish Americans, and European ethnic groups, while addressing changing demographic patterns and multiculturalism.

This book is especially useful for Sociology Students, Race and Ethnic Relations Students, Social Work Students, Criminal Justice Students, Education Students, Political Science Students, Human Services Students, Cultural Studies Students, and undergraduate students studying diversity and social inequality. It is particularly relevant for assignments involving discrimination, immigration, minority group relations, civil rights, social mobility, institutional inequality, and demographic change.
