We will consider the experiences of various racial and ethnic groups from different sociological perspectives. We will first examine the concepts and arguments that are central to the study of intergroup relations. Then, we will apply competing theories to understanding U.S. race relations in the past, present, and future. Finally, we will pay attention to various controversial issues related to public policy making. In addition to focusing on the substantive topics of race relations, we will work on developing critical reading and writing skills. The objective of the written assignments is to encourage and facilitate an in-depth understanding and analysis of the theoretical contribution of recent literature.}, journal={TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology}, author={Tang, Joyce}, year={2010}, month={Apr.} }
