Problem of Race in the Twenty-first Century

In "Problem of Race in the Twenty-first Century," renowned author Thomas C. Holt delves into the enduring issue of race and racism, a theme that W. E. B. Du Bois poignantly identified as "the problem of the color-line" over a century ago. Published by Harvard University Press in 2002, this insightful work spans 160 pages, offering a compelling exploration of how the dynamics of race have evolved in contemporary society and what implications these changes hold for the future. Holt's analysis is not only relevant but essential for understanding the ongoing challenges of discrimination and ethnic relations in the United States. This book is a vital resource for anyone interested in cultural anthropology, African American studies, and the broader social sciences.
