This collection of essays consists of a series of writings on race and ethnicity from multiple disciplinary perspectives in world societies utilizing a chronological-topical approach. Humans have been struck by color as difference throughout history. Color Struck: Essays on Race and Ethnicity in Global Perspective specifically explores race and ethnicity in world societies across national boundaries. The focal point of these essays consider race and multiracial identity as construed, constructed, contested and redefined by human communities from the first complex societies to the present. These essays also seek to explore how the variables of gender and class intersect with concepts of race. Finally, these essays posit the question: What about the future of race? The editors (Julius O. Adekunle and Hettie V. Williams) seek to consolidate this compilation with essays on the following topics:
Color and Caste in the Indus Valley
Race and the Australian Aborigines
Hapa Identity in Pacific Rim History
