Description
Presents papers of the conference on Ethnicity and Race in the Last Quarter of the Twentieth Century. Contains fresh research on the contemporary situation of the full range of major ethnic and racial groups. Including chapters on blacks, American Indians, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and white ethnics, it provides much new data. Drawing on the first published results from the 1980 census, it gives a unified and comprehensive picture of both the dynamic and static elements in ethnic and race relations. It reveals the changing face of ethnicity and race in the U.S., and in particular outlines the tremendous changes now taking place among the white ethnics. ISBN 0-7102-0633-X: $24.95.
