More on Race as a Social Construct

Hi all.

If any of you are interested in further exploring the concept of race as a social construct (which we discussed last Wednesday in class) you may be interested in the following resources. There is a great deal written on this subject if you want to do further research; these are just a few of many resources out there:

• BOOK (which we have in the library):

  Graves, Joseph L. The Race Myth: Why We Pretend Race Exists in America. New York: Penguin, 2005.

• ARTICLES:

  Jablonski, Nina G. "What Is It About Skin Color?" The Root. www.theroot.com, 6 Feb. 2013.

  American Anthropological Association. "RACE - Only Skin Deep." RACE - Only Skin Deep. American Anthropological Association, 2011.
