The Routledge Handbook on Marginalized Groups in the United States and their Challenges

“This new Handbook is an essential resource for researchers, instructors, and students in courses on racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination in a theoretical and more practical ways. This book is not only for teaching instruction but also for scholars and readers interested in understanding the complexity of discrimination in today’s America for the purpose to overcome it. The contributors to the Handbook focus on the marginalized groups in the United States and most importantly on different ways in which those groups continue to be ostracized and be discriminated against today. The uniqueness of the project is located at its intersection of sociology, social theory, culture and politics. This interdisciplinary endeavor is very much needed in the field of Minority studies. A more interdisciplinary and contemporary approach to discrimination is needed and that is why this project is so important in the field.” Alain Lawo-Sukam, Coordinator of Africana Studies Program, Texas A&M University “This new Handbook is very comprehensive and covers a lot of vitally important ground for researchers, instructors, and students. The editor and contributors are very established scholars with track records of producing good research, and have strong commitments to the study of race and research on race. It is a very timely publication, especially considering the political environment we are now in with laws being proposed in several states to ban discussion of race.” Sharon D. Austin, Professor of Political Science, University of Florida
