In the first edition of
Race in America, Matthew Desmond and Mustafa Emirbayer introduced a groundbreaking intersectional approach framed around social spheres. In the second edition, the authors built on this success with new examples and features in the text to help students see the "big picture" and how they can participate in the fight for racial equality. In this thoroughly revised third edition, new coauthors Karida Brown (Emory University) and Victor Ray (University of Iowa) employ their research and teaching experience to engage students in today's most relevant issues surrounding race and racism. The unmatched media program for this book has been expanded to include the engaging Norton Illumine Ebook, which features embedded documentary film clips, Dynamic Data Figures, and comprehension questions.
