Product DescriptionRun a Quick Search on "Ethnic America" by Thomas Sowell to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "Ethnic America"Browse more products related to "Thomas Sowell"Review"'Ethnic America' is at once useful as a concise history of major ethnic groups and significant as a quiet but powerful attack on liberal beliefs about minorities, racism, segregation and affirmative action....But there is a certain perfunctory quality about Mr. Sowell's history. ...A good many of Mr. Sowell's historical generalizations are glib....Mr. Sowell's discussion of blacks in America exhibits an even more curious use of history....It is easy to see why...Mr. Sowell has become one of the favorite economists of the Reagan right. Less easy to assess is the validity of Mr. Sowell's arguments." "There has not been a single book [on ethnicity] that combines the best of recent scholarship in a readable, compact form. Thomas Sowell's 'Ethnic America: A History' answers that need. Even for those who do not share Sowell's conclusions, the book establishes a valuable historical context within which to assess how and why ethnic groups succeed. It should be required reading for anyone interested in policy questions involving race and ethnicity." Publisher's noteA distinguished economist traces the history of nine American ethnic groups--the Irish, the Germans, the Jews, the Italians, the Chinese, the Japanese, the Blacks, the Puerto Ricans, and the Mexicans--in order to explain their varied experiences in adapting to American society.
