The contributors show that racism has not fallen from the forefront of American society, but is manifest in a different way. According to the authors in this volume, in 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century, skin color has come to replace race as an important cause of discrimination. This is evidenced in the increasing usage of the term “people of color” to encompass people of a variety of racial and ethnic backgrounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe editor has compiled a diverse group of contributors to examine racism from an interdisciplinary perspective. Contributions range from the science of racism, from its perceived biological basis at the end of the 19\u003csup\u003eth\u003c\/sup\u003e century, to sociological studies its new forms in the 21\u003csup\u003est\u003c\/sup\u003e century.
