Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Economics has tended to be a very male, middle class, white discipline. Introducing Race and Gender into Economics is a ground-breaking book which generates ideas for integrating race and gender issues into introductory eocnomics courses.
Each section gives an overview of how to modify standard courses, including macroeconomics, methodology, microeconomics as well as race and gender-sensitive issues. This up-to-date work will be of increasing importance to all teachers of introductory economics.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Part I: Integrating race and gender: a framework -- Part II: Integrating race and gender topics into introductory microeconomics -- Part III: Integrating race and gender topics into introductory macroeconomics -- Part IV: Additional considerations in integrating race and gender into Economics 190 R&G.
