Routledge Race and Racialism - British Sociological Association

Race and Racialism, part of the Routledge Library Editions: British Sociological Association, offers a deep look into the sociological study of race. Originally published in 1970, this work brings race discussions into the mainstream of sociological thought by examining the concepts that define theoretical issues. By locating race-relation situations within the context of wider social structures and historical developments, this book provides a foundation for understanding how social attitudes are formed. It examines how biological and sociological theories can be misused to justify specific social policies and attitudes. Readers will find a detailed look at the principles of social stratification that affect the study of race relations. This text is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the historical developments of social categories.
