Title: Ethnic America
|
| Description: This classic work by the distinguished economist traces the history of nine American ethnic groups,the Irish, Germans, Jews, Italians, Chinese, African-Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Mexicans ''[This] should be required reading for anyone interested in policy questions involving race and ethnicity . . . The book's extraordinary merit is its application of demographic and economic analysis to historical and social materials.'' --New Republic ''Ethnic America is at once useful as a concise history of major ethnic groups and significant as a quiet but powerful attack on liberal beliefs about minorities, racism, segregation, and affirmative action.'' --New York Times Book Review |
