| Publisher Description: One of the greatest dramas in all of modern times involves the peopling of America. In Ethnic America, Thomas Sowell provides a useful and concise record tracing the history of nine ethnic groups: the Irish, the Germans, the Jews, the Italians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Blacks, the Puerto Ricans, and the Mexicans. Sowell offers perspective-building facts--there are more people of Irish ancestry in the United States than in Ireland and more Jews than in Israel--and explains each ethnic group's varied experiences in adapting to American society. |
