"We do not underestimate the formidable barriers to achieving our overall
objective. But, given the present trends in the United States and on the global
scene, this task takes on even greater urgency. In the process, current
conceptions of gender (as well as of race and ethnicity) will of necessity undergo
profound revision. Acknowledgements We are especially grateful to Vicki L. Ruiz
for her highly constructive criticisms, and we ..."

"Years ago when I began to accumulate information for a topic I was researching, I began from the perspective of my own experiences within the topic I studied. I worked outward, and then back again, to understand my topic, and to comprehend each of my perspectives within it. Because I was able to place myself within my topic rather then distancing myself from it, my understanding of 'things' was clearer, more accurate. I became a better ..."
"inequality," and "deconstruction" phases, 3) examining the varying social
backgrounds of anthropologists, sociologists, biologists, and psychologists taking
different sides on the "race" debate, and 4) discussing alternatives to the race
concept, such as the concept of ethnic group. The race concept is indeed suspect

"For example, when a mother hen clucks, her chicks will respond by running to
her. This does not imply however, that the hen clucks in order to guide the chicks,
i.e., with the intention of guiding them. Clucking is a natural sign or signal —

chicks toward its own gestu ..."

book Future Babble, just because you can't predict the future doesn't prevent us
believing people who claim they can. There's a thriving job market for economists
