Book description

This book brings together internationally known scholars from a wide range of disciplines and theoretical traditions, all of whom have made significant contributions to the field of race and ethnic relations. As well as identifying important and persistent points of controversy, the collection reveals a complementary and multifaceted approach to theorisation. The theories represented include contributions from the perspective of sociology. These range from the established perspectives of Marx and Weber through to the more recent interventions of rational choice theory, symbolic interactionism and identity structure analysis.

Reviews

‘ … by collecting in one volume such a diversity of perspectives, the book serves an important function and is a useful guide to the literature on race and ethnic theory.’

‘Understanding comes before action and few scholars have approached Rex’s lifetime contribution to our understanding of race and ethnic relations.’
