Description

Developed from the critically acclaimed Dictionary of Race and Ethnic Relations, now in its fourth edition, the Encyclopedia of Race and Ethnic Studies has been assembled by a world-class team of international scholars led by Ellis Cashmore to provide an authoritative, single-volume reference work on all aspects of race and ethnic studies. From "Aboriginal Australians" to "Zionism," "sexuality" to "social work," "beauty" to "hybridity," the Encyclopedia is organized alphabetically and reflects cultural diversity in a global context. Although unafraid to engage with cutting-edge theory, the Encyclopedia is uncluttered by jargon and has been written in a lucid, "facts-fronted" style to offer an accessible introduction to race and ethnic studies. The Encyclopedia is also fully cross-referenced and thoroughly indexed with many entries followed by annotated up-to-date suggestions for further reading to guide the user to the key sources. It is a reference work for scholars and students of race and ethnic studies, as well as a handy resource for journalists and other professionals working in the field.
