Race, Ethnicity, and the American Urban Mainstream
Race, Ethnicity, and the American Urban Mainstreamuses history, biography, and sociological analysis to examine the achievements and struggles of racial and ethnic groups in American cities. This text is organized around social systems (politics, housing, education, economics, and work) rather than groups or concepts such as prejudice and discrimination. A number of in-depth profiles of minority communities, in cities such as Oakland, Detroit, Los Angeles, and Chicago, help to illustrate major concepts.
