<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"><p><span><p>The new 4th Edition of <em><strong>ETHNIC STUDIES: An Introduction</strong></em> reflects the interdisciplinary nature of Ethnic Studies - the readings are drawn from academic fields in the humanities and social sciences. A few first-person narratives are also included, so we can get a sense of how individuals experience their ethnic group status. Overall, the readings in this book are meant to provide students with a foundation in Ethnic Studies. </p> <p>The volume integrates framing and reflection questions throughout to foster critical and engaged readers.  These questions initiate a personal and classroom dialogue.</p> <p>Respecting the unique realities confronting the communities discussed in this volume, the authors intentionally aimed to evoke a sense of empathy and solidarity so that when students read the words like Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, Land Back, and No Borders listed, and capped off with the word<br>Solidarity, these terms would reassert the humanity and dignity of someone else’s lived experiences.</p> <br></span></p>
