Race and Ethnic Relations is the comparative study of key economic,
political, and social relations in and between the United States and
other countries around the world. The focus is on theories of race
relations, ethnic stratification, and the historical development of
world capitalist system.
We use these theories to reveal and explain the underlying
arrangements, processes, structures, and systems that shape
personal, group, national, and international interests and
perspectives. Particular
attention is paid to questions of social justice and examples of
social transformation for the purpose of thinking about how to
organize action aimed at overcoming the material inequalities and
other asymmetries of power that divide us as people and limit our
potentials.
