About the Author :
Nadine E. Dolby is Assistant Professor of Education at Northern Illinois University.

Review :
"...Constructing Race is an innovative and daring book that bulldozes over the exhausted racial scholarship that only concerns itself with where people racially categorize themselves. Dolby steps outside the box and looks at the reasons behind racial identification by exploring the meanings of belonging to particular racial categories as well as how those categories are created and sustained. The book is clearly written, well-organized, and logically flows from beginning to end. Dolby's work is a worthwhile read for anyone with a general interest in sociology, but a must read for those interested in the social construction of race and racial identity." - Contemporary Sociology "This book presents an excellent discussion of the complexities of race and how it gets acted out in everyday life. It will remain an important book in the years to come." - Carl A. Grant, University of Wisconsin-Madison "Dolby provides interesting ethnographic details to explore the fluid and shifting ways youth in a South African school work within and against the rigid racial classificatory categories through which they are defined. This work makes a significant contribution to our understanding of how young people are forging new relationships in post-apartheid South Africa." - Daniel A. Yon, author of Elusive Culture: Schooling, Race, and Identity in Global Times
