“With its first issue, Race/Ethnicity: Multidisciplinary Global Contexts establishes itself at the rich intersection of race and ethnicity studies. In our new world, where boundaries seem to grow more fluid by the day, this journal will be at the forefront of our crucial, global conversation about who we are and where we are going. Race/Ethnicity is scholarship at its best.”
-- Henry Louis Gates, Jr. W.E.B. Du Bois Professor of the Humanities, Harvard University

"Race/Ethnicity provides an innovative approach to exploring the complexities of race and ethnicity, crucial to challenging the rules of monoracial and single-discipline scholarship and promoting a racially just vision for the world."
-- Rinku Sen, Executive Director, Applied Research Center

Race and ethnicity are all too often implicated in the leading human rights and social justice issues in the world today.

  • Does the notion of human rights have the power to embrace and unify people across lines of race, ethnicity, gender, wealth, and nationality in a way that more context-specific terms like racial justice and civil rights do not?
  • What are the seeds of a viable global human rights movement and in what institutions, structures, and places, if anywhere, have such seeds been planted?
  • At a time when social justice issues are not addressed unless they are made subjects of documentaries or receive celebrity endorsement, how are racial injustices spotlighted and by whom?
  • What avenues exist or have the potential to address human rights issues?
