I'm looking for works in anthropology and/or sociology that examine these concepts, where they're distinct, and where they overlap. Quite a bit has obviously been published on both race and ethnicity, so I'm having a little trouble finding particular important works on this subject.
Hello Joshua, maybe -if you haven´t seen it yet- the 1952 UNESCO´s "The Race Concept: Results of an Inquiry" could be a starting point.
The Ontario Human Rights Commission describes ethnicity as “[groups] sharing a distinctive cultural and historical tradition often associated with race, place of origin, ancestry or creed.” Ethnic groups often share a language, religion, practices and beliefs.https://www3.ohrc.on.ca/en/en/our_work/papers_reports
Hope this is
Race: The Power of an Illusion" (Documentary Series) This documentary series challenges the concept of race as a biological reality and explores its social construction. It's a valuable resource for understanding the historical development of racial categories. "Ethnicity without Groups" by Rogers Brubaker Brubaker's work examines the fluid and situational nature of ethnicity, arguing that it is not always tied to fixed, bounded groups. This challenges traditional notions of ethnicity and contributes to the understanding of its relationship with race. "Race and Ethnicity: The Key Concepts" by Amy Ansell This book provides an overview of the key concepts in race and ethnicity studies, exploring their historical development and contemporary significance. It's a good starting point for those looking to understand the nuances and overlaps. "Racial and Ethnic Relations" by Joe R. Feagin and Clairece Booher Feagin This comprehensive textbook covers a wide range of topics related to race and ethnicity. It explores their social construction, historical development, and the intersectionality of race, ethnicity, class, and gender. "The Ethnic Phenomenon" by Pierre L. Van den Berghe Van den Berghe's work provides a sociobiological perspective on ethnicity, examining how it relates to competition for resources and group survival. While controversial, it offers a different angle on the understanding of ethnicity. "Race, Ethnicity, and Sexuality: Intimate Intersections, Forbidden Frontiers" edited by Joane Nagel This edited volume explores the intersections of race, ethnicity, and sexuality. It addresses how these categories intersect and shape individuals' experiences and identities. "Racial Formation in the United States" by Michael Omi and Howard Winant This classic work explores the concept of racial formation, arguing that race is a dynamic and socially constructed process. It's influential in understanding the intersectionality of race with other social categories. "Ethnicity: Theory and Experience" by Nathan Glazer and Daniel P. Moynihan Glazer and Moynihan examine the concept of ethnicity, discussing its theoretical foundations and practical manifestations. The book is a thoughtful exploration of how ethnicity operates in diverse societies. These works should provide a solid foundation for understanding the distinctions and overlaps between race and ethnicity, offering various perspectives from both anthropological and sociological standpoints.
I would suggest you check out the Book titled: Theories of Race and Racism: Reader" Les Back and John Solomos (Eds) (2000). It has much to offer regarding your question. It can be accessed online.
