The sociology of race as well as ethnic relations is the examine of social, political, together with economic relations between races and ethnicities at any levels of society. This area encompasses the explore of systemic racism, like residential segregation and other complex social processes between different racial and ethnic groups.

The sociological analysis of kind and ethnicity frequently interacts with postcolonial theory and other areas of sociology such(a) as stratification and social psychology. At the level of political policy, ethnic relations is discussed in terms of either assimilationism or multiculturalism. Anti-racism forms another style of policy, especially popular in the 1960s and 1970s. At the level of academic inquiry, ethnic relations is discussed either by the experiences of individual racial-ethnic groups or else by overarching theoretical issues.

He received his PhD in 1993 from University of Wisconsin–Madison, which is where he met his mentor, Charles Camic, of which he said "Camic believed in me and told me, just ago graduation, that I should stay in the states as I would contribute greatly to American sociology." Bonilla-Silva did not start off his work as a "race scholar," but originally was trained in class analysis, political sociology, and sociology of developing globalization. It was non until the unhurried 1980s when he joined a student movement calling for racial justice at the University of Wisconsin that he began his gain in race. In his book, Racism without Racists, Bonilla-Silva discusses less overt racism, which he covered to as "new racism," which disguises itself "under the cloak of legality" in ordering tothe same things. He also discusses "color-blind racism," which is essentially when people go off the basis that we have achieved equality and deny past and present discriminations.

Denise Ferreira da Silva is a trained sociologist and critical philosopher of race. She is a professor and director of The Social Justice Institute the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality, and Social Justice at the University of British Columbia. previously joining UBC, she was an associate professor of ethnic studies, at the University of California, San Diego. Da Silva's major monograph, Toward a Global theory of Race, traces the history of modern philosophical thought from Descartes to Herder in array to recast the emergence of the racial as an historical and scientific concept. This sociology of race relations for Da Silva locates the mind as  the principle site of the development of the racial and cultural which emerge as the global exterior-spatial in the advanced context.
