How Real is Race? Unraveling Race, Biology, and Culture (Third Edition, 2025/26). By Carol C. Mukhopadhyay, Rosemary Henze, and Yolanda Moses

This book, now in its third edition, provides an in-depth and accessible unraveling of the complex relationships among race, biology, culture, inequality, and power. The authors systematically deconstruct the myth of race as biology and address the reality of race as a cultural invention, drawing on biocultural, historical, and cross-cultural anthropological perspectives. The third edition includes two new chapters and updated and expanded material throughout. The companion website for the book has over 60 learning activities suitable for educational, professional and community settings; and an annotated list of websites (see “relevant websites” below).
