How Real Is Race?: A Sourcebook on Race, Culture, and Biology
- Used Book in Good Condition
How real is race? What is biological fact, what is fiction, and where does culture enter? What do we mean by a â€œcolorblindâ€ or â€œpostracialâ€ society, or when we say that race is a â€œsocial constructionâ€? If race is an invention, can we eliminate it? This book, now in its second edition, employs an activity-oriented approach to address these questions and engage readers in unravelingâ€”and rethinkingâ€”the contradictory messages we so often hear about race.

The authors systematically cover the myth of race as biology and the reality of race as a cultural invention, drawing on biocultural and cross-cultural perspectives. They then extend the discussion to hot-button issues that arise in tandem with the concept of race, such as educational inequalities; slurs and racialized labels; and interracial relationships. In so doing, they shed light on the intricate, dynamic interplay among race, culture, and biology.
