Book excerpt: In her newest book, anthropologist Carolyn Fluehr-Lobban examines the foundations of race in American society. She offers a simple and accessible explanation of the biology of race and a cross-cultural perspective on the social context of race, color-coding, ethnicity and ethnocentrism. In a world where race is a factor in almost every society and its politics, the author finds abundant evidence that race is a dynamic, changing concept. Her book is a fascinating and thoughtful assessment of the nature of race and racism, and will be of value to readers and instructors in anthropology, sociology, education, and ethnic studies.
