Color Struck cover

Color Struck: Essays of Race and Ethnicity in Global Perspective is a compilation of expositions on race and ethnicity, written from multiple disciplinary approaches including history, sociology, women's studies, and anthropology. This book is organized around a topical, chronological framework and is divided into three sections, beginning with the earliest times to the contemporary world. The term "race" has nearly become synonymous with the word "ethnicity," given the most recent findings in the study of human genetics that have led to the mapping of human DNA. Color Struck attempts to answer questions and provide scholarly insight into issues related to race and ethnicity.

Color Struck: Essays of Race and Ethnicity in Global Perspective is an essential and welcome contribution to the fields of global studies, cultural studies, and the social sciences. It is very relevant to ongoing debates, dialogues, and discourses about identity and the centrality of race in all these discussions. While some of the essays deploy theoretical (and technical) terminologies, the whole work is quite comprehensible - especially for the uninitiated reader curious about the power of race in our modern consciousness. -- 'BioDun J.
