Racial and Ethnic Groups, Ninth Edition

Rating:
Summary: Updated edition of a classic.
Review: Racial and Ethnic Groups is extremely well researched, informative and entertaining. I read this book from cover to cover for pleasure. Then I read several of the books listed in the bibliography. This is clearly the best book available for anyone taking or teaching a course on human diversity. Each section tells a fascinating story with just the right combination of history, facts and relevant statistics.

Summary: The students liked it, but found it boring and so did I.
Review: This textbook on race relations is decent and many of the students said they found it useful, but no one thought it was a great text. I find it extremely boring, expecially when compared to the far more complete text by Farley, "Majority-Minority Relations." Schaeffer's approach seems to be to cover lots of topics, but none with any depth. The text is adequate but I am disappointed with its lack of depth. I do think it is a very useful book, nonetheless, for the beginning student and for the professor who perhaps is looking for a text that will be non-threatening to the student.
