Descriere
Interest in ethnic studies and multiculturalism has grown considerably in the years since the 1992 publication of the first edition of this work. Co-editors Ratner and Buenker have revised and updated the first edition of Multiculturalism in the United StateS≪/i> to reflect the changes, patterns, and shifts in immigration showing how American culture affects immigrants and is affected by them. Common topics that helped determine the degree and pace of acculturation for each ethnic group are addressed in each of the 17 essays, providing the reader with a comparative reference tool. Seven new ethnic groups are included: Arabs, Haitians, Vietnamese, Koreans, Filipinos, Asian Indians, and Dominicans. New essays on the Irish, Chinese, and Mexicans are provided as are revised and updated essays on the remaining groups from the first edition.

"Twenty American academics, historians, and librarians contribute 18 chapters to a comparative reference text covering 17 of the major ethnic groups from Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin American that have populated the U.S. over the past two centuries. The new edition has been revised throughout, and substantially expanded to include essays on seven groups not covered in the first edition: Arabs, Asian Indians, Dominicans, Filipinos, Haitians, Koreans, and Vietnamese….Academic but accessible to the general reader."
