About Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class: The Sociology of Group Conflict and Change, Ninth Edition

Our bestselling text for courses called Race and Ethnic Relations, Majority-Minority Relations, and Social Diversity, Joseph F. Healey and Andi Stepnick’s Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class: The Sociology of Group Conflict and Change, Ninth Edition, tells the story of America’s minority groups, today and throughout history. By presenting information, asking questions, and examining controversies, it demonstrates that understanding what it means to be an American has always required us to grapple with issues of diversity and difference.

The book is known for its clear and engaging writing style; for the use of sociological theory to discuss socially constructed inequalities in the United States; and for its thorough coverage of historical and contemporary immigration to the U.S. Individual chapters focus on one group at a time: white ethnics, five major racial and ethnic minorities, and minorities based on gender and sexual identity. The text also explores the varieties of experience within groups, especially the intersection of race/ethnicity and gender.

“With Vantage, I set up my course in under 10 minutes, which is unheard of...And it benefitted students, they did all the right things in all the right places. I love Vantage!”

Karin Machluf, Instructor

Penn State Scranton

“What I most like about Vantage is that my students are coming into class prepared… Student performance after implementing Vantage is incredible. It used to be out of 40 or 50 students, I had 4 or 5 A’s… and now instead of having that bulk of grades in the C’s, they’re in the A’s. We know that reading increases performance, but this is a really tangible way to see that.”

Karen Deeming, Instructor

Merced College

“My learners really enjoyed the SAGE Vantage experience. Many of them said it forced them to read, which aided in their comprehension…The feedback I received is that they all really enjoyed the interactive nature of the program, as well as the [number] of activities…”

Daniel Amoruso, Instructor

KEY FEATURES OF Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Class: The Sociology of Group Conflict and Change, Ninth Edition

Tells an overarching story about dominant-minority relations in the U.S. and how minority groups are inseparable from the larger American experience.
While the primary focus is race and ethnicity, the text also includes chapters on the sociology of gender and sexual minorities.
In addition, intersectional perspectives throughout examine how race/ethnicity combine with other statuses to produce different forms of privilege and oppression.
Examines a diversity of experiences both across minority groups, as well as within them.
Opening vignettes and “Narrative Portraits” convey the thoughts and experiences of immigrants, writers and artists, politicians, scholars, racists, oppressed people, and other Americans who have witnessed intergroup relations from different perspectives.
Comparative Focus boxes, and a separate chapter called “Dominant-Minority Relations in Cross-National Perspective,” look at group relations in societies outside the United States.
Applying Concepts activities provide an opportunity to use key ideas in new ways.
