Descriere

The history of the American twentieth century is largely one of race relations. As the twentieth century unfolded, racial tensions between major racial and ethnic groups often exploded. From the backlash against Eastern and Southern European immigration in the early part of the century to the Civil Rights movement and race riots of the 1960s to the backlash against Latino immigration at the century's end, understanding race relations is central to meeting curricular U.S. history standards. The five-volume Race Relations in the United States in the Twentieth Century set incomparably encapsulates the explosive century, with a desirable decade-by-decade overall organization especially tailored for student assignments. The set provides comprehensive reference coverage of the key events, influential voices, race relations by group, legislation, media influences, cultural output, and theories of inter-group interactions that have been evident in the last century and related to race. Each volume, written by an historian, covers two decades. The set format includes this coverage per decade: Timeline, Overview, Key Events, Voices of the Decade, Race Relations by Group, Law and Government, Media and Mass Communications, Cultural Scene, Influential Theories and Views of Race Relations, Resource Guide, allowing comparison of topics through the century. The bulk of the coverage is topical essays, written in a clear, encyclopedic style. Each volume contains a selected bibliography and index. Historical photos complement the text.
