Overview
OER Text Material
Sociology: Understanding and Changing the Social World, Section: 10.1
This section provides an overview of racial and ethnic relations in the U.S. over time. The section is an ok
overview, but lacks detail. There is a picture of a lynching included in this section. This may be problematic for
some and instructors should use with caution.
Supplementary Material (Videos and Reading)
- Understanding Race – The Story of Race Transcript
This source provides a nice brief overview of the history of race and racial categories.
- Ethnic America, Mapped: Your County’s Biggest Ancestral Populations – Washington Post
Great map showing ethnicity at the county level.
- Asian Americans – Lumen Sociology
There was not a lot about Asian Americans in the textbook, so this would be a good supplement to the core text material.
Data
