Editorial Reviews

[Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class] has a comprehensive approach to understanding race, ethnicity, class and gender. Multiple perspectives and themes set the stage for gaining insight into the manifestations of inequality prevalent in society.”

Pelgy Vaz

"The Healey book is the best undergraduate textbook, in my opinion, to focus on the U.S. experience of peoplehood…"

Dr. Gonzalo Santos

"I continue to be very impressed with the conceptual material included in the text related to prejudice, racism, assimilation, stratification and pluralism and their relation to larger social change processes. Students benefits tremendously from learning about the perspectives that relate to understanding race relations occurring at multiple levels: family, small group, community, state and global."
