INFORMATION

You will need to select and read one biography or autobiography of someone that is of a different race or ethnicity from your own racial or ethnic identity. After reading the book, you will write a 5 page reaction paper to the book and the person’s life experiences. In this paper you should be applying the sociological insights you have gained from our readings and discussions of race/ethnicity and gender. Make sure your paper addresses how the social construction of gender/race and/or gender/racial inequality has affected the person’s everyday life, their life chances, and aspirations. Your additional resources should be used to support and further your discussion of the person’s life experiences.
