A Must-Read!

Schuman et al.'s "Racial Attitudes in America" is a must-read for students and researchers interested in race relations and intersections between race and politics. Well-written and insightful, "Racial Attitudes in America" is also very understandable for the curious observer of race relations. Schuman et al. analyze national survey data from the 1970s to the present in order to understand how the public feels about such important issues as affirmative action and other "race-targeted" policies. Moreover, the authors examine the extent to which prejudice and other negative racial attitudes are still widespread in the United States. Though extremely informative, the book devotes far more attention to examining trends in racial attitudes than to understanding the sources of them. Nonetheless, this book will provide a valuable starting point for any student or researcher interested in understanding the sources of racial attitudes.
