Iron Cages: Race and Culture in 19th-Century America - Softcover
Iron Cages provides a unique comparative analysis of white American attitudes toward Asians, blacks, Mexicans, and Native Americans in the 19th century. This pathbreaking work offers a cohesive study of the foundations of race and culture in America. In a new epilogue, Takaki argues that the social health of the United States rests largely on the ability of Americans of all races and cultures to build on an established and positive legacy of cross-cultural cooperation and understanding in the coming 21st century. Observing that by 2050 all Americans will be minorities, Takaki urges us to ask ourselves: Will America fulfill the promise of equality or will America retreat into its "iron cages" and resist diversity, allowing racial conflicts to divide and possibly even destroy America as a nation? Incisive and provocative, Iron Cages is an essential resource for students of ethnic history and important reading for anyone interested in the history of race relations in America.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. This copy is Good; the text is clear, bright, but with small marks and bits of marginalia on about 15 of the book's 361 pages; binding is tight, but shelf wear on edges. The front and back covers are VG: intact, including color and design, but signs of sunning and rubbing, slight wear on edges and corners. We have a five star rating because of our fulfilment success and because our descriptions are accurate. All U.S. shipments sent with Tracking. On foreign sales, because of the heavy weight of this book, we have to charge extra for shipping: however, we will only charge the difference between our regular shipping rate and the extra charge that the U.S.Post Office asks to ship the book. We guarantee: NO NASTY SURPRISES. Seller Inventory # 010843
