The SAGE Handbook of Race and Ethnic Studies is one of the
best handbooks outlining the latest thinking on race and ethnic
studies published in recent years... The breadth of themes and the
depth of discussion are ambitious, offering the reader an A-Z guide
of contemporary thinking on race and ethnicity... a valuable
resource for scholars and activists alike.

Why are racial and ethnic identities, along with racism and ethnic
chauvinism, so tenacious in the contemporary world? Why do lines of
racial and economic exclusion continue to converge? Do we have the
appropriate analytical tools to make sense of the manner and
purchase of race and ethnicity? This important handbook provides a
clear, accessible and incisive survey of debate and research on
such questions, at the heart of the burgeoning field of race and
ethnicity studies.

Hill Collins and Solomos have composed a compelling volume that
speaks to the central issues of race and ethnicity today. They
include a vibrant mix of established and emerging voices addressing
the principal and pressing contemporary conceptual and theoretical
questions regarding race and ethnicity. These include the ways in
which race, class, gender and the nation are taken up in the
dominant disciplines of the humanities and social sciences, law and
critical race theory, family, religions, education, the state,
repression and resistance. This is a collection both educators and
researchers concerned with race and ethnicity will want to
consult.
*David Theo Goldberg*
In the 21st century racism continues to be alive and kicking. This
well written handbook, a landmark, situates a range of contemporary
expressions of race, ethnicity, racism and resistance in a global
context. Substantial chapters provide breadth, depth and clarity to
questions that remain contested in spite of decennia of race
critical research. Hill Collins and Solomos combine editorial
excellence in producing a solid handbook with a concluding chapter
mapping out the challenges for the 21st century. The SAGE
Handbook of Race and Ethnic Studies is an absolutely
recommendable source for students and scholars across the social
sciences.
