"In this fourth edition, Drs. Audrey Smedley and Brian Smedley describe, in a scholarly but widely accessible and engaging manner, the evolution of the concept of race and the way shifting views of the meaning of race have shaped North America. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the past, present, and future of race and race relations in North America." -- John F. Dovidio, Yale University " Race in North America is an essential text for anyone who engages 'race' from the early modern period to the present. ...Eminently suitable for a range of learners, from undergraduates to researchers, the book is critical to courses and writings on the ways in which race has been, and continues to be, socially constructed in the Anglo world." -- Laura A. Lewis, James Madison University "This much anticipated new edition continues the global exploration of the roots of race and racism and reveals how structural racism maintains disparities in the modern age. Followers of the epistemology of race and racism will get a historically broader and detailed explanation of why we think about groups of people the way we do today." -- Janis Hutchinson, University of Houston " Race in North America provides an excellent historical overview of how race came to be such a powerful social construct in the United States, and its continued significance in the life outcomes of people of color today. While grounded in research, the book is written in a manner that is well-suited for the casual reader as well as students and scholars interested in the subject of race." -- Maria-Elena Diaz, The University of Oklahoma Praise for Previous Editions: "I am absolutely devoted to this book. Over the years my students have often commented on how much it has changed their thinking and opened their eyes." -- Robyn Rosen, professor of history, Marist College, "In this fourth edition, Drs.
