Ghettoized and Marginalized: The Coverage of Racial and Ethnic Groups in Introductory Sociology Texts.

Stone, Pamela

Teaching Sociology, v24 n4 p356-63 Oct 1996

Examines 25 introductory sociology textbooks to ascertain patterns of race-ethnic coverage. Discovers coverage to be fairly extensive but focused around a limited set of sociological topics (stratification, education, health). Coverage in other areas (age, politics, religion) was significantly lower. Discusses implications for course development and revision. (MJP)
