Hierarchical Structures and Social Value: The Creation of Black and Irish Identities in the United States
Williams, Richard (State University of New York, Stony Brook)
Combining theoretical and historical analysis, this book develops the thesis that the concepts of 'race' and 'ethnicity' are socially constructed. It demonstrates that the social values placed upon Blacks and Irish immigrants in the US result from their placement into specific labour categories rather than from inherent attributes.
