Spark class discussions on the important topics of our times
Race, Class, and Gender helps students understand the impacts of race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, immigration status in the United States, prompting them to think critically about the interlocking systems of power and oppression that underlie these important topics, and to examine strategies for confronting and challenging injustice. The 116 writings in this range from historical documents to groundbreaking scholarship to writing by today’s leading activists and thinkers. This edition includes 30 new selections on such topics as the disparate impact of COVID-19, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, legislative attempts to ban books and prevent the teaching of critical race theory, the politicization of transgender rights, and many others.

Race, Class, and Gender in the United States
Race, Class, and Gender helps students understand the impacts of race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, immigration status in the United States, prompting them to think critically about the interlocking systems of power and oppression that underlie these important topics, and to examine strategies for confronting and challenging injustice. The 116 writings in this range from historical documents to groundbreaking scholarship to writing by today’s leading activists and thinkers. This edition includes 30 new selections on such topics as the disparate impact of COVID-19, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, legislative attempts to ban books and prevent the teaching of critical race theory, the politicization of transgender rights, and many others.
