Sociology
This was the first introductory text to use a truly comparative global approach to teach sociological concepts and ideas. Some texts claim to be global by including global boxes; however, the entire Ferrante text is written from this perspective. Ferrante uses an in-depth examination of life in other countries to help students understand sociological concepts while also providing comparison to the United States. By integrating throughout each chapter the connections to American society, this text gives students a broader understanding of sociological concepts, global interdependence, and societal differences as well as similarities.

The Social Construction of Race and Ethnicity in the United States
This groundbreaking collection of classic and cutting edge sociological research gives special attention to the social construction of race and ethnicity in the United States. It offers an in-depth and eye-opening analysis of (a) the power of racial classification to shape our understanding of race and race relations, (b) the way in which the system came into being and remains, and (c) the real consequences this system has on life chances. The readings deal with five major themes: the personal experience of classification schemes; classifying people by race; ethnic classification; the persistence, functions, and consequences of social classification; and a new paradigm: transcending categories. For individuals who want to gain a fuller understanding of the impact the ideas of race has on a society that is consumed by it.
