Description: "Diversity in America, Second Edition squarely addresses the topic that perhaps generates more passion, invective, and raucous debate than all others in American society today. Do we have too much immigration? Are we no longer sufficiently "American"? The focus on the depth and complexity of race relations throughout the book helps to answer these questions. Vincent N. Parrillo uses history and sociology to shed light on socially constructed myths about our past, misunderstandings from our present, and anxieties about our future that are commonly held." "Diversity in America, Second Edition is an ideal supplement for courses in race and ethnic relations, immigration history, American studies, or other courses on diversity."--Jacket.
