Are we making progress toward ending racial discrimination and prejudice? What, exactly, does \"race\" mean? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eRace in the 21st Century: Ethnographic Approaches\u003c\/em\u003e, Second Edition, John Hartigan, Jr., takes an anthropological look at such questions by introducing students to the study of race through qualitative methods. In the first text to take an explicitly ethnographic approach, Hartigan summarizes and explains the current state of social science knowledge on race in the U.S., motivating students to think through essential questions about race in relation to their own lives. In contrast with many texts, \u003cem\u003eRace in the 21st Century\u003c\/em\u003e focuses not on essential differences between racial or ethnic groups, but rather on the commonalities. Hartigan concentrates on the particular contexts in which people actively engage and respond to racial meanings and identities. In this way, he encourages readers to think critically about the meaning of race. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe second edition of \u003cem\u003eRace in the 21st Century\u003c\/em\u003e features a new chapter, \"Postracial America,\" which examines contentious arguments about whether or how race still matters in the U.S. today. It engages students fully in the important question of what \"postracial America\" might mean or look like.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Hartigan, Jr.\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Anthropology at The University of Texas at Austin and the Director of the Américo Paredes Center for Cultural Studies.
