| Summary |
"This best-selling anthology expertly explores concepts of identity, diversity, and inequality as it introduces students to issues of race, class, gender, and sexuality in the United States. The 120 selections in the Eleventh Edition -- including 46 new readings -- focus on topics such as citizenship, immigration, sexualized violence, environmental racism, voting rights, the criminalization of 'living while black,' reproductive justice, the continuing effects of colonialism on Indigenous people, growing up in poverty, LGBTQ activism, and more. New selections include foundational pieces of intersectional analysis from Kimberlé Crenshaw, Dorothy Allison, and Cherríe Moraga, as well as writings from the founders and leaders of key contemporary social movements such as Tarana Burke on the Me Too movement, Alicia Garza on Black LIves Matter, Chief Arvol Looking Horse on Standing Rock, and Gaby Pacheco on the Dreamers." -From publisher. |
