Reading Response to Introduction in Handbook of Race and Ethnic Studies Essay

Upon indication the Collins and Solomos introduction to their Handbook of Race and Ethnic Studies, I soon realized that the field of work and ethnicity is a diverse, living thing that is constantly evolving. The authors make reference to the fact that the civil rights movement has been work for decades and it appears at times that no progress has been made. They make this point by mentioning the nightly newscasts on tv set that show global atrocities brought on by policies of ethnic cleansing or other forms of hate.This is proof that more(prenominal) work has to be done and we must continue to seek and come along understanding and equality.

They state that for the new right the appeal is by and large no longer to racial supremacy cultural uniformity and they get around this by parading under the politics of nationalism and patriotism.This reminded me of my history classes in school where I first learned of Hitler and how he used extreme nationalism as one of his tools to gain influence and power over a economically struggling Germany. on that point seems to be a great many voices and perspectives out there that may contradict one another(prenominal) at times, but I feel that the study or race and ethnicity must continue to be pursued.
