Race, Class, and Gender in the United States: An Integrated Study: An Integrated Study

by Paula S Rothenberg

At a time when issues of identity, diversity, and inequality are at their most complex and divisive―and very much on student’s minds―Rothenberg’s anthology is as of-the-moment, authoritative, and thought-provoking as ever. Now in a rigorously updated new edition, this longtime bestseller is again the ideal catalyst for sparking lively class discussions on variety of difficult subjects, helping students think critically about categories of race, class, gender and sexuality, and how they operate and interact in the U.S. today.
The new edition features 46 new readings (see table of contents), including writings from the founders and leaders of key contemporary social movements (Tarana Burke on the metoo movement; Alicia Garza on Black Lives Matter; Chief Arvol Looking Horse on Standing Rock; and Gaby Pacheco on the Dreamers) and new foundational pieces of intersectional analysis from Kimberlé Crenshaw, Dorothy Allison, and Cherríe Moraga. This edition also features new pedagogy designed specifically to help students make connections across topics, identify key ideas, and understand the context of each selection.

[Alex Mobley Hildebrandt · Rating 4 out of 5]

This text gives so much insight into the intersectionality of discrimination in the United States for people from varying races, classes, and genders. It gave so many anecdotes to how past and current US policies, that I would have otherwise thought of as neutral, disenfranchise groups in ways I would have never seen without the first hand accounts and selected writings of the book. I especially love Kimberlé Crenshaw's descriptive analogies and the way she paints a visual picture of intersectionality and being an antiracist.

I would actually recommend this book to anyone! It's a collection of articles that provides valuable insight & lessons on a topic that is not discussed enough!
