RaceEthnicity
 
“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
