- Summary
- Offers both a sociohistorical perspective and a sociological analysis to provide insights into U.S. diversity. Parrillo addresses ttopics that generate more passionate, invective, and raucous debate than all others in American society today: Is multiculturalism a threat to us? Should immigration be more closely controlled? Are we no longer sufficiently “American” and why? Parrillo uses history and sociology to shed light on socially constructed myths about our past, misunderstandings from our present, and anxieties about our future. From publisher description.
