About The Matrix of Race, Second Edition

Topically organized and drawing on the most up-to-date theories and perspectives in the field, The Matrix of Race, Second Edition examines the intersecting, multilayered identities of contemporary society, and the powerful social institutions that shape our understanding of race. Leading scholars Rodney D. Coates, Abby L. Ferber, and David L. Brunsma use a storytelling approach to illustrate how racial inequality has produced drastically different opportunities, experiences, and outcomes within all aspects of life, from schools, housing, medicine, and workplaces to our criminal justice and political systems. Readers are equipped with an historical perspective, theoretical framework, and diverse view of race and racial ideologies so they can confidently participate and contribute to dialogues and practices that will ultimately dismantle race and racial structures.

More praise for SAGE Vantage

With Vantage, I set up my course in under 10 minutes, which is unheard of...And it benefitted students, they did all the right things in all the right places. I love Vantage!”

Karin Machluf
Instructor, Penn State Scranton

“What I most like about Vantage is that my students are coming into class prepared… Student performance after implementing Vantage is incredible. It used to be out of 40 or 50 students, I had 4 or 5 A’s… and now instead of having that bulk of grades in the C’s, they’re in the A’s. We know that reading increases performance, but this is a really tangible way to see that.”

Karen Deeming
Instructor, Merced College

“My learners really enjoyed the SAGE Vantage experience. Many of them said it forced them to read, which aided in their comprehension…The feedback I received is that they all really enjoyed the interactive nature of the program, as well as the [number] of activities…”

Daniel Amoruso
Instructor, Boise State University

Not adopted as yet, but I am still interested in this text for my Cultural Competency for Criminal Justice course to be taught during the Fall 2023 semester.

KEY FEATURES OF THE MATRIX OF RACE, SECOND EDITION

  • The text is written by a trio of diverse race scholars who blend their distinct personal backgrounds, teaching experiences, and research interests.
  • Unlike many texts, The Matrix of Race is organized around the social institutions where race is lived and experienced, rather than the examination of individual groups.
  • A historical perspective throughout allows students to see how race has been shaped, maintained and transformed at multiple points across time.
  • The “Matrix” framework helps readers see the complexity and dynamic aspects of race, and incorporates a number of important theories and perspectives throughout:
    • Race is socially constructed—it changes from one place to another and across time.
    • Race is intersectional—it is embedded in other socially-constructed categories of difference like ethnicity, gender, social class, ethnicity, and sexuality.
    • There are two sides to race—oppression and privilege—and many of us experience forms of both.
    • It is more useful to focus on the structures of society than to blame individuals for racial inequality
  • The text emphasizes the powerful role of narrative in the social construction of race and difference, using four different types of stories:
    • Stock stories told mainly by the dominant group.
    • Concealed stories that reveal hidden truths about race.
    • Resistance stories that directly challenge the status quo.
    • Transforming stories that offer a vision of a racial justice.
