Publisher Synopsis
"Uneven Roads is one of the few race and politics textbooks that provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the history surrounding major racial groups coupled with social and political issues related to race in the contemporary United States." -- Camille Burge "An ideal Race and Ethnic Politics textbook... Students will learn a lot, and faculty will find it easy to design their class assignments around the material." -- Terri Jett "Uneven Roads gives a sincere, unromantic and yet nonjudgmental account of how legal and political institutions were established in ways that impacted the civil and legal status of millions of Americans. It engaged, enraged, and informed my students of the structural influences on the confusing issue of race in the United States." -- Melissa Buice Read more...
