A black American researcher studying the significance of hair in the African American community is challenged about the value of her topic by a black woman she interviews. A white woman studies upper-class eighth grade girls at her alma mater on Long Island and finds a culture founded on misinformation about its own racial and class identity. A black American researcher is repeatedly assumed by many Brazilian subjects to be a domestic servant or sex worker.
Critical work in race studies has not adequately addressed how racial positions in the field -- as inflected by nationality, gender, and age -- generate numerous methodological allemmas. Racing Research, Researching Race, the first volume of its kind, begins to fill this gap by infusing critical race studies with more empirical work and suggesting how a critical race perspective might improve research methodologies and outcomes.
The contributors to the volume encompass a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds including anthropology, sociology, ethnic studies, women's studies, political science, and Asian American studies.
