Features

{{collapseContainerClosed['features'] ? 'Show More' : 'Show Less'}}
  • MindTap, Enhanced Edition is an outcome-driven application that propels students from memorization to mastery. It’s the only platform that gives you complete ownership of your course. With it, you can challenge every student, build their confidence, and empower them to be unstoppable.
  • PERSONAL. LOCAL. GLOBAL. Get your students to consider sociological issues from the micro, mezzo, and macro levels. Develop students’ sociological imagination through activities centered around understanding sociological concepts at the personal, local, and global level integrated throughout assignments.
  • EXPLORE THE SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION. Develop empathy and enrich classroom discussion by having students experiencing other people’s perspectives and challenges. The Explore activity in each chapter requires critical decision making and evaluation. The open-ended questions that follow the simulation get students to reflect about their personal decisions made during the simulation as well as larger, more global consequences.
  • All statistical material is completely up to date with the latest figures from the U.S. Census Bureau as well as from other data-gathering organizations in the United States and abroad.
  • Statistical data is presented in easy to read and understand graphs, charts, and maps.
  • All chapters contain new or recent citations, reflecting the continued vast production of empirical and theoretical literature in the field of race and ethnic relations.
  • Bulleted summary sections in each chapter provide a clear and comprehensive snapshot of key points.
  • Personal application questions at the end of each chapter help students examine current issues and apply concepts presented in the text to their own lives.
  • The text's expansive coverage of immigration includes theory, American immigration history, current issues and patterns of immigration as well as insightful discussions of the economic and social impact of current immigration.
  • Numerous tables and figures throughout the text help students readily understand concepts.
  • Chapter 8 on Hispanic Americans includes extensive coverage of three major Latino groups-Central American, South American, and Caribbean.
  • The final chapter deals with ethnic conflict and change, highlighting several recent and ongoing ethnic conflicts in the contemporary world.
  • A power-conflict perspective emphasizes the power dynamics among a society's various groups.
  • The text provides excellent worldwide coverage and inclusion of race and ethnic relations across the globe, including a unique comparative case study of South Africa, Brazil, Northern Ireland, and Canada.
  • Each chapter in Part III (covering non-American, multi-ethnic societies) is a section concisely describing the major points of difference and similarity between the United States and the particular society covered in that chapter-enabling instructors and students to easily relate materials from these chapters to U.S. ethnic dynamics and issues.
