Books by Roberta L. Coles

Looking at ethnic minority families through a structural lens, and by focusing on various factors such as demographic, economic, and historical aspects, this book offers an approach that illustrates overarching structural factors affecting all families as opposed to examining each ethnicity in isolation from one another.

Race and Family is a textbook that introduces students to key concepts through a structural lens. Rather than examining each racial/ethnic group in isolation like many race and family textbooks, Race and Family illustrates overarching structural factors that affect all families, such as economic factors, demographic factors, and gender relations.
