Reviews

Garner′s text is to be applauded for a number of reasons. He has thoughtfully grappled with the complexities of racisms and presented them here in a way which is coherent, informed and engaging. His illustrative examples and prompts for reflection demonstrate the importance of the debates discussed for an international readership. This book will appeal to all who are keen to acquire the fundamentals about how we have arrived at our contemporary understanding of racisms
Muzammil Quraishi
University of Salford In this novel textbook Steve Garner guides students innovatively through an important array of racial, ethnic, class, and gender issues, often with attention to intersectional issues or cross-national comparisons. Few textbooks have the international savvy this provides for topics from institutional racism and racialization to immigration and Islamophobia. An overview text, this will be of great use to instructors who seek to provoke undergraduates into thinking deeply about these challenging, critical-for-society issues

This second edition is well-deserved. The book is practically a self-help manual for those under-graduate students, who have a deep appreciation of the social sciences.
