Review:
“Anyone can pick up this book and learn from it. It is like reading a good story rather than [reading] an educational text.”
―Leigh A. Willis, University of Georgia
"The book provides a useful overview of U.S. racial and ethnic diversity and its development over time, introduces some sociological themes (e.g. assimilation, pluralism), and touches upon several others (e.g. the role of economic factors in immigration)....Indeed, this book is exactly what it claims to be: an accessible account of diversity in the United States, a nice, short primer on American immigration history, assimilation and pluralism, and related concepts.”
