Racial And Ethnic Groups In America

Racial and ethnic groups in America

Excerpt from the Preface: One of the primary objectives of this book is to provide an academic background for understanding the history, culture, and social relationships that constitute the day-to-day life in ethnic communities. The hope is that with an exposure to some basic facts about American ethnic groups that people will arrive at a new level of understanding and cooperation. It is my belief that education can provide the key to understanding ethnic and racial diversity in American society and that such an understanding will promote greater tolerance and acceptance of cultural diversity.
