Experiencing Race, Class, and Gender in the United States
by
Roberta Fiske-Rusciano
Through individual stories, essays, poetry, and critical analyses, Experiencing Race, Class, and Gender in the United States, Seventh Edition, introduces issues of race, class, and gender within an interdisciplinary framework. Divided into three sections, Identity, Power, and Change, as well as nine parts, Fiske-Rusciano challenges readers to reflect on their own lives, examine the structural systems that contribute to inequality, and identify problems while visualizing change. "Understanding the Reading" questions encourage critical thinking and classroom discussion, and "Suggestions for Responding" encourage further study. In addition to its focus on minorities victimized by discrimination, this anthology also includes the experiences of the privileged and of those who resist change and reinforces students' understanding that they can create change in their lives and in society. New to This Edition: Twenty-five new readings focus upon divisions in our understanding of U.S. history and the consequences of those divisions New Part VII "Race, Class, and Gender During the Obama and Trump Administrations: A Comparative Look," focuses on themes such as racial politics, women's rights, environmental justice, and marginalization.
