Trans by Rogers Brubaker is an awesome piece of work, summarizing an excitingly dynamic and fruitful field of ideas about gender and race.
Jan Morris's book on her transition, Conundrum, despite being written 35 years ago, still feels fresh.
I don't think there is a totally satisfying current sociological text on race and racism. I think this is because social scientists view race as a myth, or false paradigm, so it is hard to do a systematic overview of an idea that so often crumbles into dust and incoherence.
