Race and Ethnicity in the United States: Issues and Debates

"At a time when the race debate seems dominated by those who basically want blacks to disappear, Stephen Steinberg's collection of divergent views expressed by supporters of racial equality makes for enlightening reading and provides a welcome reassurance that racial retrenchment has not stifled new approaches to what is apparently a perpetual problem." Derrick Bell, author of Faces at the Bottom of the Well: The Permanence of Racism

"America's intergroup scene today is both highly complex and poorly understood. Steinberg has neatly managed to capture much of this complexity with thirty pithy articles from a wide range of authors and perspectives. Timely, pointed, and well-organized, this collection can be strongly recommended." Thomas F. Pettigrew, University of California, Santa Cruz
