Argues that race is the central feature of modern culture; this was true for the twentieth century and it will be true for the twenty-first and reflects the most urgent social issues: race relations, multiculturalism, and social justice.

Social Things introduces the sociological imagination through lively, memorable stories and interpretations. This fifth edition celebrates the book's fifteenth anniversary with important updates, an entirely new chapter that addresses the environmental challenges in our global world and many additions that bring the history of sociology up-to-date.
