Races of Mankind
In 1930, Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History commissioned sculptor Malvina Hoffman to produce three-dimensional models of racial types for an anthropology display called the Races of Mankind. In this exceptional study, Marianne Kinkel measures the colossal impact of the ninety-one bronze and stone sculptures on perceptions of race in twentieth-century visual culture, tracing their exhibition from their 1933 debut and nearly four decades at the Field Museum to numerous reuses, repackagings, reproductions, and publications that reached across the world. Employing a keen interdisciplinary approach, Kinkel taps archival sources and period publications to construct a cultural biography of t...
Tortoise and Hare's Amazing Race
A retelling of the classic story with a math twist. Henry Hare was always bragging about how fast he was. One day he challenges Tessie Tortoise to a mile-long race up the hill. Henry leaps ahead for the first eighth of a mile. As Tessie approaches, he bounds ahead again. Fractions and distance measurements mark their progress as Tessie and Henry race to the finish line.
Race Among Friends
Race among Friends focuses on a "racially friendly" suburban charter school called Excellence Academy, highlighting the ways that students and teachers think about race and act out racial identity. Marianne Modica finds that even in an environment where students of all racial backgrounds work and play together harmoniously, race affects the daily experiences of students and teachers in profound but unexamined ways.
In This Place
The landscape photographed and the reflections on the sites of the Sunday Gospels paint a geography little changed since the time of Jesus and his followers. To see the Judean Wilderness or the River Jordan or the hills of Jerusalem is to see the topography, the land features that existed two thousand years ago. And in seeing them we are reminded that this is what Jesus saw. The dust and heat are the reality of his day and time as much as they are ours. To encounter that land if only through word and image is to touch the world of Jesus.
American Indians and State Law
American Indians and State Law examines the history of state and territorial policies, laws, and judicial decisions pertaining to Native Americans from 1790 to 1880. Belying the common assumption that Indian policy and regulation in the United States were exclusively within the federal government's domain, the book reveals how states and territories extended their legislative and judicial authority over American Indians during this period. Deborah A. Rosen uses discussions of nationwide patterns, complemented by case studies focusing on New York, Georgia, New Mexico, Michigan, Minnesota, Louisiana, and Massachusetts, to demonstrate the decentralized nature of much of early American Indian po...
The R Word
The R Word is a thoughtful story of a white girl's self-discovery as she begins to think about race and race relations for the first time. Rachel Matrone has led a sheltered life, unaware of the racial tensions that surround her. She knows her family loves her, but maybe they love her too much. When Rachel steps out of her social comfort zone she realizes her world is not the fair, just place she'd always assumed it to be. What will Rachel do with her new discoveries? How will she hold on to her new relationships without losing her family?
Plausible Prejudice
In contrast to most studies of minority, majority relations, the author does not focus on minority groups but on the conventional wisdom of the politically dominant majority population. The essays cover a range of themes, from individualised identification and the struggle to achieve a 'sustainable self-image' to national belonging and 'race thinking'. She argues that social actors construct racial and national boundaries by drawing on everyday-life experiences. This is how racial prejudice can become 'plausible prejudice?'.

Yet, she has repeated often that she is standing on the shoulders of women who have come before her to try to break down barriers, including the United St...
