Race & Ethnicity

Our racial and ethnic identities powerfully inform our life experiences and our faith. Offering wisdom from both ethnic studies and the authors' personal stories, these books provide community for anyone seeking to think more deeply about how race and ethnicity play out in society and our personal lives. You can read books focusing on Asian, Black, Indigenous, Latino, or mixed racial identities, as well as books on racial justice. You can also meet all of IVP's authors or color or read articles from authors on issues of race and ethnicity.
