American Ethnicity: The Dynamics and Consequences of Discrimination

This brief and inexpensive text is designed to present a concise introduction to America's racial and ethnic groups. The authors combine a general discussion of the sociocultural context of racial and ethnic relations in its beginning section with precisely focused chapters devoted to each of the major racial and ethnic groups in America: African Americans, Native Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, and White Ethnic Americans. A common framework and the use of common headings allows students to compare and contrast ethnic populations to each other.
