Description
This timely encyclopedia is the first to encapsulate racism and its manifestations throughout U.S. history.

Reviews:
-[A]n admirable piece of work. It offers a great deal of provocative and compelling material that is lucidly presented and appropriately illustrated. For undergraduate students of American studies, history, cultural studies, sociology, and anthropology this would be a useful resource. For their tutors it would provide many good starting-points for seminars and workshops, with the primary texts supplying excellent ways in to the subject of racism. For researchers from all disciplines who are interested in race, the bibliography and many of the entries would prove helpful, and even inspiring. —Reference Reviews
-[U]seful....The Encyclopedia of Racism in the United States is recommended for high school, college and public libraries. —Catholic Library World
-College-level collections with strong holdings in racism studies and ethnic issues would do well to make the 3-volume reference edited by Pyong Gap Min, Encyclopedia of Racism in the United States, a mainstay of any collection....Advanced high school holdings will also want to consider including it as a reference: there's plenty of bibliographic material and a solid organization which lends to its being an at-a-glance reference or the source for papers. —MBR Bookwatch
-This is the first encyclopedia that focuses exclusively on theories and historical events related to racism in the United States. Dr. Pyong Gap Min clearly meets the broad information needs of students and readers studying American history, immigration, or racial and ethnic issues by providing a broad spectrum of topics related to racism and discrimination in the United States....[u]sers of public and high school libraries along with libraries supporting an undergraduate curriculum will find this set useful for learning background information on groups, individuals, and events that compromise the racist component of America past and present. —Reference & User Services Quarterly
