  • New section (IV) on Analyzing Social Issues highlights three topics of special interest to today’s students: immigration and citizenship, health care and the environment and violence (including gun violence but also reproductive justice).

  • New articles focus on topics of great concern to today’s students, including articles that give an intersectional perspective (often overlooked) on such topics as gun violence, the rise of white nationalism, transgender identities, youth activism, reproductive rights and the Me Too movement, among others.

  • A longtime feature of this anthology, each article takes an intersectional perspective, unlike other anthologies that tend to include separate articles on race, class and gender.

  • Introductory essays to the five parts, written by the co-editors, provide support for understanding and learning about intersectionality as a framework. Each introductory essay has been updated to ensure currency and to provide a brief discussion of the significance of the articles within the section.

  • The essay selections in this book meet a critical need in this discipline by providing representation of and access to a broad diversity of perspectives, including those that are commonly marginalized. The book includes scholarship and writing by people of various racial-ethnic and gender identities and coverage of disability, undocumented student activism and LGBTQIA+ identities.

  • The book equips students with a framework for understanding contemporary social activism, especially how young people are utilizing social media to mobilize movements, including how movements for change.

  • A detailed subject index provides quick and easy references to key topics, helping students maximize their study time and course success.

  • Extremely student-friendly, articles throughout the text are highly accessible to undergraduate readers and reflect topics of current interests to students today.

  • The text uses reflective, personal accounts of the effects of race, class and gender on people’s lives to help students develop an intersectional perspective, even while learning about people with identifies different from their own. Its unique collection of readings successfully combines analytical articles with those that are personal narratives. In both cases, the articles engage students in critical thinking and reflective analysis.

  • Introductory essays by the two editors provide a solid foundation for thinking about intersectionality and connect the significance of the individual articles. This anthology offers students a framework for thinking about race, class, gender and sexuality as intersecting systems of social stratification.
