About this title

Synopsis

Selected Readings on Race, Class, and Gender: An Exploration of Human Rights and the Effects of Capitalism encourages readers to analyze social conflicts, socialized prejudices, and conditions of intolerance that arise from tension between people of different races, classes, and genders. It provides students with an intersectional framework to demonstrate how our participation within political, economic, and social affairs is crucial in reforming existing systems of oppression.

The readings within the text shine a light on those who are marginalized and asks readers to address the systemic conditions that continue to discriminate and oppress individuals at a personal and institutional level. It encourages readers to rethink their internalized biases and dismantle existing conditions of racism, classism, and genderism. Students are provided with strategies to resist the totalizing power that controls our systems of knowledge. Throughout, study questions, comprehension questions, critical thinking questions, and expansion questions inspire critical thought and meaningful discussion.

Designed to help readers better understand their own identities and the systems that influence them, Selected Readings on Race, Class, and Gender is a timely and essential anthology for courses in the humanities, including sociology, race studies, and gender studies, among others.
