This is a great book for those who have already studied in a basic Sociology course and would like to broaden his/her studies on Race, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism. This textbook is nicely organized and is written in a simple, straight-forward way.

Thankfully my college has a textbook rental system, but I think that if I were required to purchase this book, it is one that I would actually end up keeping. I have never really been able to sit down and read a textbook, but this one is different.
It may just be personal opinion, but I think that learning about the origins and evolution of various racial/ethnic/religious groups is incredibly interesting. I feel that Schaefer's presentation of the mateiral is very comprehensive (but not overly detailed) and, as far as I can tell, free of bias. A wide spectrum of groups are covered, the material is easy to read, and the graphics in the text--especially the charts and maps--help visually represent the text.
Overall, I think that this is one of the best textbooks that I have come into contact with, and I would highly recommend it.
