Klappentext Through individual stories, essays, poetry, and critical analyses, Experiencing Race, Class, and Gender in the United States, Seventh Edition, introduces issues of race, class, and gender within an interdisciplinary framework. Divided into three sections, Identity, Power, and Change, as well as nine parts, Fiske-Rusciano challenges readers to reflect on their own lives, examine the structural systems that contribute to inequality, and identify problems while visualizing change. "Understanding the Reading" questions encourage critical thinking and classroom discussion, and "Suggestions for Responding" encourage further study.
