For courses in Race and Ethnic Relations
Highlight the changing dynamics of the U.S. population
Racial and Ethnic Groups helps students view race and ethnic relations in a sociohistorical context, so they can understand the past and see how to shape the future. Author Richard Schaefer’s narrative is driven by engaging first-person accounts that illuminate the changing dynamics of the U.S. population, and reveal the stories behind these changes. In addition to thoroughly updated data and contemporary topics, the 15th Edition offers new Relations Across Boundaries features that focus on interactions between different groups.
About our authors Richard T. Schaefer grew up in Chicago at a time when neighborhoods were going through transitions in ethnic and racial composition. He found himself increasingly intrigued by what was happening, how people were reacting, and how these changes were affecting neighborhoods and people's jobs. In high school, he took a course in sociology. His interest in social issues caused him to gravitate to more sociology courses at Northwestern University, where he eventually received a B.A. in sociology. “Originally as an undergraduate I thought I would go on to law school and become a lawyer. But after taking a few sociology courses, I found myself wanting to learn more about what sociologists studied and was fascinated by the kinds of questions they raised,” Dr. Schaefer says. “Perhaps most fascinating and, to me, relevant to the 1960s was the intersection of race, gender and social class.” This interest led him to obtain his M.A. and Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Chicago. Dr. Schaefer's continuing interest in race relations led him to write his master's thesis on the membership of the Ku Klux Klan and his doctoral thesis on racial prejudice and race relations in Great Britain. Dr. Schaefer went on to become a professor of sociology. He has taught sociology and courses on multiculturalism for 30 years. He has been invited to give special presentations on racial and ethnic diversity to students and faculty in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas. Dr. Schaefer is the author of Racial and Ethnic Diversity in the USA (Pearson, 2014) and Race Matters, 4th Edition (Pearson, 2012). He is the general editor of the 3-volume Encyclopedia of Race, Ethnicity, and Society(2008). He is also the author of the 12th Edition of Sociology: A Brief Introduction (2017), the 4th Edition of Sociology: A Modular Approach (2015), and the 7th Edition of Sociology Matters (2018). He coauthored with William Zellner the 9th Edition of Extraordinary Groups (2015). His books have been translated into Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish, as well as adapted for use in Canadian colleges. His articles and book reviews have appeared in many journals, including American Journal of Sociology, Phylon: A Review of Race and Culture, Contemporary Sociology, Sociology and Social Research, Sociological Quarterly and Teaching Sociology. He served as president of the Midwest Sociological Society from 1994 to 1995. In recognition of his achievements in undergraduate teaching, he was named Vincent de Paul Professor of Sociology in 2004.
