Customer Reviews

History we never Learn about

Although the book does focus on most of the white people who were racist... It also contains some helpful history on Native Americans and Vietnamese immigration. The history of racism is fairly hard to talk about without addressing the violence and hatred that has actually occurred.

Just as Described

When I received the book it was in new condition and just as described. I was very happy with the quality of the purchase. My only complaint is that I paid for expedited shipping and it said it was in stock but it took at least a day or two for it to ship, once it shipped it was here in no time though.

"Interethnic Relations In America" forces me think

Early this Spring I decided to take on the task of an Honors Intercultural Studies course at De Anza College. Although I had taken many classes of the same genre, little could have prepared me for the mass of knowledge that I would obtain. Through reading an average of 60-80 pages of "Interethnic Relations in America" each week, I have been able to gain not only a cultural perspective, but a sociological and historical one too! I have found that although it is challenging because it contains SO much information, that it reigns as a great work because it is seemingly non-biased, very modern, and well written. I would definetly reccommend this book to people of all ages, races, ethnicities, regardless of their "cultural baggage." I have been forced to think, and thus I feel compelled to share my experinces with others. This book can truly change your life in many ways! Not to mention that my professor has used it at both Stanford and Berkeley in the past!
