Race, Racism and Anti-Racism

Overview

Race is a central organizing principle of society. Race intersects with our social institutions, such as family, education, government, and economy. It also is a central component in our discipline’s subfields, including culture, demography, environment, work and organizations, and criminology.

Increasing public attention to race, racism, and anti-racism due to the growth in Black mobilization and nativist policies and practices give this area added real-world applications. Providing an understanding of the nature and impact of these issues on the social world is one of the most important tasks of the sociological enterprise.
