Great book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Thankfully my college has a textbook rental system, but I think that if I were required to purchase this book, it is one that I would actually end up keeping. I have never really been able to sit down and read a textbook, but this one is different. It may just be personal opinion, but I think that learning about the origins and evolution of various racial/ethnic/religious groups is incredibly interesting. I feel that Schaefer's presentation of the mateiral is very comprehensive (but not overly detailed) and, as far as I can tell, free of bias. A wide spectrum of groups are covered, the material is easy to read, and the graphics in the text--especially the charts and maps--help visually represent the text. Overall, I think that this is one of the best textbooks that I have come into contact with, and I would highly recommend it.
Excellent book to learn about diversity

This is an excellent book for someone who is learning about diversity. This book isn't 100% perfect but it's a start for someone to learn about diversity in society. The author tried to address each group without bias (as much as possible).
Updated edition of a classic.

Racial and Ethnic Groups is extremely well researched, informative and entertaining. I read this book from cover to cover for pleasure. Then I read several of the books listed in the bibliography. This is clearly the best book available for anyone taking or teaching a course on human diversity. Each section tells a fascinating story with just the right combination of history, facts and relevant statistics.
