Despite the frequent declaration of biologists that the only race is the human one, racism continues to exist all over the world. This collection of essays demonstrates that fact. Lewis (sociology, Bucknell University) Griffith (English and Caribbean studies, SUNY, Albany) and Crespo-Kebler (Caribbean and Puerto Rican studies, University of Puerto Rico, Bayamon) make it clear in the introduction that racism isn't confined to any one nation or group. However most of the essays deal with North American racism as evidenced in books and film. Two articles treat German attitudes. While it might be desirable to have more variety, this book reminds Americans that we should clean our own house before commenting on the attitudes of others.
