Derived from the Fourth Edition of Joseph Healey's best-selling text Race, Ethnicity, Gender and Class (2006), the Second Edition of Diversity and Society : Race, Ethnicity, and Gender provides an accessible, jargon-free, sociological analysis of U.S. minority groups. Updated throughout, this abbreviated edition retains the conceptual frameworks and organizational format of the larger version and is the only brief text to present a unitary sociological frame of reference for the analysis of minority-dominant relations.
