<p>AMERICAN ETHNICITY: THE DYNAMICS AND CONSEQUENCES OF DISCRIMINATION is designed to be used for courses in race and ethnic relations in sociology and ethnic studies departments. Its brevity and low cost relative to competitors provide flexibility for professors who want to assign supplementary readings. This book begins with a general discussion of the sociocultural context of racial and ethnic relations and then devotes separate chapters to each of the major racial and ethnic groups in American--African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and White Ethnic Americans. The distinguishing feature of the book is that each group is examined in terms of the same framework: Resource Shares (money, power, education, prestige, longevity, etc.), Dynamics of Discrimination (cultural beliefs and institutional arrangements, Stratification, and Responding to Discrimination. This common framework and use of common headings allows students to compare ethnic populations with each other.</p>
