American Ethnicity is a brief text that provides an accessible introduction to the dynamics of racial and ethnic relations. Key concepts and theories are summarized; and the authors develop a simple theoretical framework that guides the presentation of data on each of the prominent ethnic groups in America. As a result; this book examines each ethnic group from the same perspective; allowing students to compare the dynamics of discrimination against African Americans; Native Americans; Asian and Pacific Island Americans; white ethnic Americans; and Latinos.Instructors and students can now access their course content through the Connect digital learning platform by purchasing either standalone Connect access or a bundle of print and Connect access.

Engaging and balanced view of US historyBy Dr. JoeIt's rare to find a comprehensive textbook on American history written by a single author; but there may be distinct advantages to that; as exemplified by this book. Brinkley gives a readable and unified perspective that reads less like an anthology; more common in multi-authored texts; and less bogged down in chronological listing of historical details; giving a clearer overall interpretation. He writes well in lively prose; making the book fun to read. Abundant maps and illustrations help to give a "You are there" sense.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
