Contemporary theories of race and racism by sociologists such as Winant, Gilroy, Williams, Gallagher, Ansell, Omi, and others will be explored. Concepts and controversies explored will include racial identity and social status, the question of social engineering, the social construction of justice, social stasis, and change. The U.S. is the focus, but other countries will be examined. Without exception, an introductory course on race and/or racism is a prerequisite.
