Viewing race and ethnic relations as manifestations of stratification and of the competition and conflict that develop over social rewards (power, wealth, and prestige), the author explores the structural patterns of race and ethnic relations in the United States and (comparatively) abroad. After a discussion of basic concepts, the role of ethnicity in the United States is explored in reference to Anglo, Native, Italian, Jewish, African, Hispanic, and Asian Americans. Other chapters discuss ethnic relations in South Africa, Brazil, Canada, and Northern Ireland. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
