YA-Clear, concise, alphabetically arranged entries deal with historical, political, and social aspects of race and ethnic relations. The volume's tone is forceful, the contents are thought-provoking, and the text is readily readable. Cross references and the dictionary format provide easy access to students wishing to clarify the meaning or learn the background of terms such as Zionism, Creole, Black Power, and the civil rights movement. Contributors are from a wide variety of academic disciplines. Additional suggested readings at the end of each entry are useful for further research.
