Rodney D. Coates, Ph.D. (1987) in Sociology, University of Chicago, is Professor of Sociology at Miami University. He has published extensively in the areas of critical race and ethnic relations including his edited text Race and Ethnic Relations: Across Time, Space and Discipline (Brill 2004).

"This elaborate volume which pulls together the work of leading scholars examining racial inequality explicates the insidious depth and breadth of racism in contemporary U.S. (and global) social structure. […] I thought about the usefulness of this book for my own scholarship and teaching. The different levels of analysis (…) as well as the varied methodologies (…) would appeal to young students. Additionally, the book’s breadth of substantive information about race and racism, […] provides a wealth of important resources for scholars of race at all levels from student to professor." - Wendy Leo Moore, in: Contemporary Sociology 42, 4"This is a useful one-stop guide devoted to explaining how, to borrow from Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, "racism without racists" works. Summing Up: Recommended. All levels/libraries." - in: Choice, February 2012
