I am a cultural anthropologist and teach the Anthropology of Race & Ethnicity at the undergraduate level in Miami, Florida, and I find this book to be perfect for this. It is written in clear language that is accessible to undergraduate students, and organized in a logical sequence like a good text book, but each chapter is written by a different expert in the particular topic that the chapter covers. In this way it is not "typical" for a textbook, but more like an anthology on Race & Ethnicity. My only problem with it is that it was published in 2003, and I understand it is only available now as a "print on demand" product, or used. I would love to know if there are plans to reprint an updated edition. I will continue assigning this title over and over in my Anthropology of Race and Ethnicity classes.
