On June 11, 1963, The University of Alabama provided the backdrop for what would become a lasting symbol in U.S. civil rights history.

Plantation Society and Race Relations: The Origins of Inequality
by Thomas J. Durant Jr., J. David Knottnerus. 262 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

For more than three hundred years, the American South was essentially a plantation society, in which the plantation system penetrated all aspects of social, cultural, economic, and political life. During this period, plantation slavery evolved into the key institutional component of Southern society and played an integral role in its development. This interdisciplinary collection of essays provides a sociological framework for the interpretation of historical data on plantation slavery by addressing different questions concerning four broad areas of research--theoretical perspectives; social institutions; race, gender, and social inequality; and social change and social transformations. The contributors depict slave plantations as organized social systems that contributed significantly to the racial stratification of the Southern plantation society, and in this way served as the origin of contemporary race relations and social inequality in America.

Race Relations within Western Expansion
by Alan J. Levine. 176 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

This bold and controversial book takes a hard look at an old subject--race relations in the Western world. Using history as a backdrop, the author illustrates how racism and ethnic chauvinism are, sadly, common. The author warns against the harm of "colorthink"--an excessive obsession with race and racism--and explores the impact of such thinking on race relations today. He gives no comfort to either racists or more fashionable contemporaries obsessed with the supposedly unique evils of the Western past.

The Interracial Experience: Growing Up Black/White Racially Mixed in the United States
by Ursula M. Brown. 155 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

The number of black-white mixed marriages increased by 504% in the last 25 years. By gathering hard data as well as a series of intensely personal and revealing vignettes, Dr. Brown offers a rare glimpse into the lives, struggles, frustration and joys of mixed race people. She investigates psychosocial issues unique to mixed race children. Also, experiences that influenced their adjustment in a country that has subjected them to racist abuses from the white as well as black side of the racial divide and has shoehorned them into a racial category that denies half of their physiological and psychological existence are explored.

Culture and Difference: Critical Perspectives on the Bicultural Experience in the United States
by Antonia Darder. 272 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

The yearning to remember who we are is not easily detected in the qualitative dimensions of focus groups and ethnographic research methods; nor is it easily measured in standard quantified scientific inquiry. It is deeply rooted, obscured by layer upon layer of human efforts to survive the impact of historical amnesia induced by the dominant policies and practices of advanced capitalism and postmodern culture. Darder's introduction sets the tone by describing the formation of "Warriors for Gringostroika" and "The New Mestizas." In the words of Anzaldua, "those who cross over, pass over . . . the confines of the normal.'" Critical essays follow by Mexicanas, poets, activists, and educators of all colors and persuasions. The collection coming out of the good work of the Southern California University system relates to all locales and spectrums of the human condition and will no doubt inspire excellent creativity of knowing and remembering among all who chance to read any part thereof.

Race, Ethnicity, and Nationality in the United States: Toward the Twenty-First Century
by Paul Wong. 326 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

Race, Ethnicity, and Nationality in the United States: Toward the Twenty-First Century is designed for both the general reader and the growing proliferation of racial/ethnic undergraduate courses. It provides thematic integration and synthesis of knowledge about race and ethnicity from many diverse fields. Taking the racial formation perspective in the study of race, ethnicity, and nationality as its starting point, the book extends this theory in a number of ways. Throughout, the book is concerned with the changing patterns of inter-minority group relations which has tended to be neglected for a focus on white/black relations in scholarly and public discourse.

Face to Face: The Changing State of Racism across America
by James Waller. 272 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

Face to Face is a bold and compelling analysis of race in America. Waller challenges the myth that life is good for racial minorities by presenting extensive survey and demographic data articulating the continuing, and pronounced, existence of racial disparities.
The author disputes the idea that racism is in decline by contrasting "old-fashioned" racism to socially acceptable forms of everyday "modern" racism. Waller then addresses the notion that America can become a color-blind society by contending that the tendency toward prejudice is inherent in the ways our minds work and respond to each other.
The author concludes with 7 important principles for racial reconciliation that offer hope for racial diversity in our communities, organizations, schools, and families: become a good reconclier and listener; teach yourself to think; know your own heritage and prejudices; open your mind to appreciate racial diversity; engage racial diversity on a personal level; draw on the strength of community; and invest in our future by teaching antiracism to the young.
Face to Face is an unforgettable book that will challenge the way you look at a fundamental issue in American society.

Race and Ethnic Relations in the First Person
by Alfred T. Kisubi, Michael A. Burayidi. 134 pgs.

Book

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

This accessible, challenging discussion of race relations looks at how institutions shape individual experience and asks how we can prevent a violent splintering of American society along racial lines in the 21st century. Arguing that the best way to understand race relations is through the personal accounts of individuals as they go through the life cycle, this highly readable book uses real life stories to illuminate how families, peer groups, and workplaces influence views about other racial and ethnic groups. The authors hope to inspire readers to intervene and counteract negative perceptions of racial difference through their open, frank discussion of the racial divide.
