Description
Natives and Strangers explores various aspects of minority group history, describing the impact America has had on minority peoples and cultures - and vice versa - and providing some understanding of the different conditions, conflicts, and contradictions that members of American minoritygroups experienced. Beginning with the American Indian migration throughout the United States, the book discusses the variety of Indian cultures that Europeans encountered, incorporating the most recent literature on the subject. The text integrates the experiences of racial, religious, and nationalminorities, explaining how their histories intertwined with the emergence of modern America. It also explores the far-reaching implications of recent immigration laws, presenting the controversy over multiculturalism in terms of understanding American history. The authors conclude with reflectionson where the nation stands today as an ethnically and racially diverse society.
