Healey, Christopher Newport University • Eileen O'Brien, Saint Leo University, Virginia Joseph F. Healey and Eileen O'Brien's Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class, Seventh Edition once again uses sociological perspectives to tell the story of race and other socially constructed inequalities with consistency and clarity. Through a vivid writing style and engaging pedagogical features the authors ensure that readers engage with core concepts in a meaningful way. The text conveys much of the richness and varieties of experience within minority groups, instead of treating them as single, undifferentiated entities. Although it focuses mainly on the minority groups in the U.S., it compares group relations in the U.S. with other societies as well.

McClure, Georgia College & State University • Cherise A. Harris, Connecticut College The book is an edited collection of short essays that address the most common misconceptions about race held by students (and by many in the United States, in general)—it is a "one-stop shopping" reader on the racial topics most often pondered by students and derived from their interests and concerns.

Ruane, Montclair State University • Karen A. Cerulo, Rutgers University Do birds of a feather flock together or do opposites attract? Is honesty the best policy?
