How Public Policy Impacts Racial Inequality’, edited by Josh Grimm and Jaime Loke, brings together noted scholars of political science and mass communication to provide a wide-ranging, in-depth analysis of race in the United States through the lens of public policy. Contributors show how racial issues such as profiling, wealth inequality, and housing segregation relate to public policy decisions at both the local and national levels and explore the inherent conflict between policy enactment, perception, and enforcement. By presenting new research on key topics, including legal definitions of biracial individuals, political opinion formation, the Trump Administration’s immigration policies, and the effects of desegregation efforts, this collection provides an expansive look at race and public policy in the twenty-first-century United States.

Colonized since the 1600s, Taiwan is largely a nation of settlers, yet within its population of 23 million are 500,000 Aboriginal people. In their quest to learn about disease and evolution, genetic researchers have eagerly studied this group over the past thirty years but have often disregarded the rights of their subjects. Examining a troubling revival of racially configured genetic research and the questions of sovereignty it raises, Living Dead in the Pacific details a history of exploitation and resistance that represents a new area of conflict facing Aboriginal people both within Taiwan and around the world.

"A comprehensive but brief introduction to current research scholarship on race, emphasizing the socially constructed basis of race and the persistence of racial inequality in U.S. institutions."–Provided by publisher.

Through the voices and perspectives of the members of an extended Hawaiian family, or `ohana, this book tells the story of North American imperialism in Hawai`i from the Great Depression to the new millennium. The family members offer their versions of being “Native Hawaiian” in an American state, detailing the ways in which US laws, policies, and institutions made, and continue to make, an impact on their daily lives. The book traces the ways that Hawaiian values adapted to changing conditions under a Territorial regime and then after statehood. These conditions involved claims for land for Native Hawaiian Homesteads, education in American public schools, military service, and participation in the Hawaiian cultural renaissance. Based on fieldwork observations, kitchen table conversations, and talk-stories, or mo`olelo, this book is a unique blend of biography, history, and anthropological analysis.
