Multiculturalism in the United States

"Co-editors Ratner and Buenker have revised and updated the first edition of Multiculturalism in the United States to reflect the changes, patterns, and shifts in immigration showing how American culture affects them and is affected by them. Common topics that helped determine the degree and pace of acculturation for each ethnic group are addressed in each of the 17 essays providing the reader with a comparative reference tool. Seven new ethnic groups are included: Arabs, Haitians, Vietnamese, Koreans, Filipinos, Asian Indians, and Dominicans. New essays on the Irish, Chinese, and Mexicans are provided, as are revised and updated essays on the remaining groups from the first edition." "The authors explain the tensions and conflicts between American culture and the traditions of newly arrived immigrants, along with a discussion of changes that have occurred over time in the immigrant culture and that culture's effect on "mainstream" U.S. culture."--BOOK JACKET.
