Ethnicity and Race in the U.S.A
First published in 1988, Ethnicity and Race in the U.S.A is a collection of
studies, by leading scholars of ethnicity and race in the U.S.A. Including
chapters on Blacks, American Indians, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and
white ethnicities, it provides a data-based analysis. Drawing on the first
published results from the 1980 census, it gives a unified and comprehensive
picture of both the dynamic and the static elements in ethnic and race rela-
tions. It reveals the changing face of ethnicity and race in the U.S.A., and in
particular outlines the tremendous changes taking places among the white
ethnics. Based on a conference on ‘Ethnicity and Race in the Last Quarter of
the Twentieth Century’ held at the State University of New York in Albany,
the book will appeal to a wide range of scholars interested in American
ethnic experience, including sociologists, historians, political scientists, social
workers, and students in ethnic studies programmes.
