Make sure you know the difference between prejudice and discrimination,

pp. 104-110
Here Beeghley outlines some of the historical and contemporary patterns
of racial and ethnic stratification. Know the main points of this section,
and keep them

pp. 111-112

class reproduction, institutionalized discrimination.
