This book is a biography of University of California-Berkeley sociology professor Troy Duster. Troy Duster received an MA and PhD in sociology from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. Duster is a black man who was born in South Chicago. His maternal grandmother is the famous Ida B. Wells. He initially had a research interest in the sociology of law and later in human genetics. He worked with approximately 100 graduate students at Berkeley, all minority students. Each of his research interests had a special slant given that Troy Duster is an African American.
Troy Duster has always been firmly committed to the idea that race is a sociological not a biological concept.
For 47 years John Galliher taught at Missouri University after receiving an MA and PhD in sociology from Indiana University. He is the author of 15 books and 75 journal articles. He taught in the areas of the sociology of law and criminology.
