The Matrix of Race: Social Construction, Intersectionality, and Inequality is a textbook that makes race and racial inequality "visible" in new ways to all students in race/ethnic relations courses, regardless of their backgrounds–from minorities who have experienced the impact of race in their own lives to members of dominant groups who might believe that we now live in a "color blind" society. The "matrix" refers to a way of thinking about race that reflects the intersecting, multilayered identities of contemporary society, and the powerful social institutions that shape our understanding of race. Its goals are to help readers get beyond familiar "us vs. them" arguments that can lead to resistance and hostility; promote self-appraisal; and stimulate more productive discussions about race and racism.

Race and ethnicity, much like water and air, are all around us. Yet, race and ethnicity remain impervious to many. In this book, scholars were encouraged to contemplate, evaluate and analyze issues regarding race and ethnicity from radically different perspectives. This process required them to evaluate their own assumptions and those of their respective disciplines. The scholars attempt to free themselves from the disciplinarian blinders that often fresh insights. They go past the ideological constraints that limit discourse by disciplinarian boundaries or myopia.
