Racial and Ethnic Groups highlights the changing dynamics of the US population. By presenting race and ethnic relations in a sociohistorical context, this text helps you to understand the past and to see how to shape the future. Author Richard Schaefer's narrative is driven by engaging first-person accounts that illuminate, and reveal the stories behind, the changing dynamics of the US population.

The 16th Edition provides an up-to-date exploration of intergroup relations in the US and abroad. New content includes expanded analysis of intersectionality, updated coverage of US refugee policy, discussions of the consequences of the coronavirus epidemic, and the latest on language use among the Indigenous people of Canada.
