A summary, points of debate, and key terms (with page references) conclude each chapter.
An end-of-book glossary has been added, which defines the key terms in the text.
This is the only text on the market that examines each ethnic group and world ethnic tensions within the same framework, emphasizing resource shares, cultural beliefs and stereotypes, institutional patterns of discrimination, ethnic stratification, and responses to discrimination.
The extensive data presented on various ethnic groups is examined from a common perspective.
A list of key terms (with page references) appears at the end of each chapter; a glossary is available on the text's companion website.
Though concise and inexpensive, the text doesn't sacrifice breadth and depth of coverage; its size and cost allow instructors to assign additional resources, such as movies, tapes, and supplementary readings.
All statistics and data tables in each chapter have been updated with the most recent data available from public use data sources such as the U.S. Census.
