Book excerpt: The study of racial and ethnic relations has become one of the most written about aspects in sociology and sociological research. In both North America and Europe, many "traditional" cultures are feeling threatened by immigrants from Latin America, Africa and Asia.

It starts from the principle that sociology is at the hub of the human sciences concerned with racial and ethnic relations.
