Index.

"A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies provides many
indispensable materials for the study of race. Particularly
valuable are the collection's comparative focus and its attention
to a variety of challenging problems in the field: culture,
technology, postcoloniality, whiteness, genocide, and
ethnoreligious conflict are but some of the crucial themes
considered here. This essential text will be adopted in courses
everywhere."

Howard Winant, Temple University, and author of The World
is a Ghetto

"The companion to racial and ethnic studies is able to bring
together data from a wide variety of disciplines and scholars on a
pressing and important subject. [...] This critical volume is an
excellent reference." American Reference Books Annual
2003

"Overall, this companion adds greatly to the debates on race and
ethnicity, past , present and future. It has that rare quality of
being written in an accessible manner for students, both
undergraduate and postgraduate, while also adding an innovative
contribution to academic debate. Such an interdisciplinary volume
will appeal to those working in a wide range of areas across the
humanities and social sciences in both Europe and the USA."
