The Fallacy of Difference: Racial Reality, Inequality, and Social Change provides students with diverse readings on racial ideologies, theories, and the social construction of race in American society with particular focus on historical treatments of minority groups and their response to social and racial injustice.
This anthology considers the major theories on race from a historical perspective and helps students understand the impact of racial ideologies on American society. The first section of the book features readings devoted to the social construction of race. The readings in the second portion of the book explore racial history, identity, and politics. The third and final section contains readings that closely examine racial equality. The sections and readings feature pre-reading questions to help stimulate critical thinking and further discussion.
The Fallacy of Difference is well-suited for courses that focus on racial and ethnic relations, as well as those that explore the social problems of race and ethnicity.
