Race and Ethnicity: Sociology in Action is an innovative text that combines comprehensive coverage of race and ethnicity content with active learning exercises, seamlessly integrated into the chapters. The book is written by a team of experienced instructors who use active learning techniques in their own classrooms. These contributors expertly weave together content material, active learning exercises, discussion questions, real-world examples of sociologists in action, and information on careers that use sociology.

The Second Edition includes updated data, figures, and examples, as well as new information on many topics, including interracial relationships, immigrant groups, diversity among Asian Americans, racial discrimination in housing, and building coalitions for racial justice.
