Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
This text uses a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on sociology, history, psychology, and other social sciences to focus on the factors that contribute to the merger or separation of different racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. The authors present historical information and contemporary examples of the largest ethnic and minority groups in the United States. They analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the assimilation model in explaining how various racial and ethnic groups have been incorporated (or not) into U.S. society. Focusing on interracial and interethnic relations in the U.S., McLemore and Romo give a sociological analysis of intergroup processes and the history of the interactions of racial and ethnic groups. Organized thematically rather than chronologically, the text illuminates the main racial and ethnic dilemmas faced in America.

History we never Learn about November 4, 2008
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. br /

Just as Described February 8, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.

Very biased against Whites February 24, 2002
4 out of 8 found this review helpful

It is a shame to think that some teachers are using this as their only text. As such, it gives a totally distorted view of so-called Anglos and Whites in America. For instance, in the chapters on American Indians, the Spanish depravity visited on the indigenous peoples in what is now the American west and southwest isn't even mentioned. The authors assertions of peaceful assimilation by the Spanish of the indigenous peoples (p. 199) is irresponsible and absurd. But this book is sure to please the America-hating politically correct crowd that equates white European Americans with Satan.

Interethnic Relations In America forces me think May 24, 2000
4 out of 8 found this review helpful

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!
