Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to present an overview of racism and inequality as social problems in contemporary U.S. society. Recent trends in ethnic relations within the occupational, educational, socioeconomic, and health arenas will be examined with a focus on the dynamics of power and privilege among whites and people of color. Although power relations also generate inequalities for women, gays and lesbians, and people with disabilities, the primary concern of this chapter will be on diversity by race and ethnicity.
