What Is “Your” Race? – 9780691173566

What Is “Your” Race? Please note: this item is printed on demand and will take extra time before it can be dispatched to you (up to 20 working days). The Census and Our Flawed Efforts to Classify Americans Author(s): Kenneth Prewitt Format: Paperback Publisher: Princeton University Press, United States Imprint: Princeton University Press ISBN-13: 9780691173566, 978-0691173566 Synopsis America is preoccupied with race statistics–perhaps more than any other nation. Do these statistics illuminate social reality and produce coherent social policy, or cloud that reality and confuse social policy? Does America still have a color line? Who is on which side? Does it have a different “race” line–the nativity line–separating the native born from the foreign born? You might expect to answer these and similar questions with the government’s “statistical races.” Not likely, observes Kenneth Prewitt, who shows why the way we count by race is flawed. Prewitt calls for radical change. The nation needs to move beyond a race classification whose origins are in discredited eighteenth-century race-is-biology science, a classification that once defined Japanese and Chinese as separate races, but now combines them as a statistical “Asian race.” One that once tried to divide the “white race” into “good whites” and “bad whites,” and that today cannot distinguish descendants of Africans brought in chains four hundred years ago from children of Ethiopian parents who eagerly immigrated twenty years ago. Contrary to common sense, the classification says there are only two ethnicities in America–Hispanics and non-Hispanics. But if the old classification is cast aside, is there something better? What Is Your Race? clearly lays out the steps that can take the nation from where it is to where it needs to be. It’s not an overnight task–particularly the explosive step of dropping today’s race question from the census–but Prewitt argues persuasively that radical change is technically and politically achievable, and morally necessary.

GENDERED LIVES: COMMUNICATION, GENDER & CULTURE – 7TH ED – 2007 – JULIA T. WOOD

GENDERED LIVES: COMMUNICATION, GENDER & CULTURE ————————————- by: Julia T. Wood ——————————– softback 2007 copyright year No marking, very clean. Excellent condition. Gallery photo is of actual book listed. PLEASE NOTE We make a quick inspection and scan of all used texts to check for marking and damage. We then describe noting, marking, excessive wear on corners, etc. This does not rule out some very minor or faint notes, as we have seen some books with marks on only a couple of pages, light highlighting in only part of one chapter and pencil marks so light as to only be noticed by going through page by page. If the book has a CD or DVD we will note that in the description, if it was originally issued with either we will note if it is missing. Books that were not originally with either will not have such description. A number of books originally have access to online supplemental material. These are often limited by entry codes or timelines and it is difficult to tell whether they are still available with a used text. We hope that this provides a good guideline for selection of the appropriate text. We do not list books with broken spines, detached covers, text pages missing, excessive marking, obvious food stains (coffee or soda stains in the text pages vs coffee stain on the outer edge of the book), water damage with any sign of mold or breakdown of the book (we will note in description if there are signs of water having been spilled in the pages but obviously dried without damaging the pages readability), parts of covers torn off, or heavily taped together. SHIPPING: the first option for domestic shipping in US Postal Service media mail — this can take from 3 to 12 days for the continental United States, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Alaska (possibly longer but 10 days has been about average). Other options are Priority Mail and Express for quicker delivery. All shipments in US have delivery confirmation from US Postal Service. Outside the United States — shipment preferrred is by Priority Mail or Express as these are the only services with some tracking capability. Please email us with any questions. Especially if there are any concerns about delivery and service — before logging feedback and DSR’s. THANK YOU
