"Fitzgerald’s wonderful book enhances the student’s understanding of race and ethnic relations using the theoretical and conceptual frameworks of sociology without sacrificing the distinct historical experiences of each major group in American society."
Michael Flota, Professor of Sociology, Daytona State College
"The fourth edition of Recognizing Race and Ethnicity by Kathleen Fitzgerald is a dynamic assessment of how race in America influences our culture, institutions, and socialization. By incorporating the people, places, and practices we have observed in many of the current events, this text is an insightful analysis about race which facilitates a more robust knowledge and awareness that is critically needed on this topic."
Silas Lee, Professor of Sociology, Xavier University of Louisiana
