Rezensionen
"A rich and rewarding account of the disparate ethnic and religious groups that shaped this nation's history and culture--African, Caribbean, Chinese, Irish, Italian Japanese, Jewish, Mexican, Native American, Polish, Puerto Rican, among others--this eloquent and moving book explains how American society has evolved out of a complex process of migration, social conflict, cultural contention, and mutual discovery."
Steven Mintz, Columbia University
"This new edition of The Ethnic Dimension is a highly readable exploration of the experiences of the diversity of peoples that have populated the United States since colonial times. Kudos to the authors for producing a volume so sweeping in scope and, in places, controversial in its interpretations. . . . Deserves a wide readership. . . . Highly recommended."
James Kirby Martin,University of Houston
"This new edition of Ethnic Dimensions retains all of the virtues that made its predecessors an invaluable introductory text -- clear and engaging prose, well-chosen vignettes, comprehensive coverage, and a persuasive thesis that ethnic and racial diversity is a primary path to understanding U.S. History."
John F. McClymer, Assumption College
