The purpose of this book is to provide an accessible introduction to understanding racial inequality—and to do so with the hope that a more informed understanding will help us know what to do about it.
This book is about race and racial inequality. If you can answer the question, “What is race and how does it impact our society?” then you don’t need to read this book. If you are looking for an upfront, practical, and no-nonsense guide to understanding race, then this book is for you. Just mention race or racism in any conversation and people become nervous, defensive, or possibly even angry. So You Think You Know All About Race informs, educates, and most importantly, introduces a fresh, meaningful conversation on why it is important to understand what race is and why racism still occurs today.

Margaret L. Andersen (Ph.D., M.A. University of Massachusetts, Amherst; B.A. Georgia State University) is the Edward F. and Elizabeth Goodman Rosenberg Professor Emerita at the University of Delaware. She is the author of several books, including her just published book: Race in Society: The Enduring American Dilemma, as well as Thinking about Women, soon to be published in its eleventh edition; the best-selling anthology, Race, Class and Gender (co-edited with Patricia Hill Collins; soon to be published in its 10th ed.), Race and Ethnicity in Society: The Changing Landscape (co-edited with Elizabeth Higginbotham; 4th edition), Sociology: The Essentials (co-authored, Howard F. Taylor, 10th ed.), Living Art: The Life of African American Art Collector Paul Jones; and, On Land and On Sea: A Century of Women in the Rosenfeld Collection. She has received two teaching awards from the University of Delaware and two prestigious awards from her professional organizations: The Eastern Sociological Society Merit Award for career contributions and the American Sociological Association’s Jessie Bernard Award, an award given for expanding the boundaries of sociology to include women. In 2017, she was granted an honorary doctorate from the University of Delaware in recognition of her scholarship, teaching, and service.
