Chapter 11 Race and Ethnicity

Definitions Race A socially constructed category composed of people who share biologically transmitted Traits that members of a society consider important © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Definitions Meanings and importance of race vary across time and place No society contains biologically “pure” people. More genetic variation within each racial “category” than between “categories” © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.

Definitions Remember: Race is constructed from biological traits and ethnicity is constructed From cultural traits, such as ancestory, language, or religion © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. All rights reserved.
