Race and ethnicity : across time, space, and discipline

Race and ethnicity, much like water and air, are all around us. Yet, race and ethnicity remain impervious to many. In this book, scholars were encouraged to contemplate, evaluate and analyze issues regarding race and ethnicity from radically different perspectives. This process required them to evaluate their own assumptions and those of their respective disciplines. The scholars attempt to free themselves from the disciplinarian blinders that often fresh insights. They go past the ideological constraints that limit discourse by disciplinarian boundaries or myopia.
