Riassunto

The meaning of family ethnicity is explored in this volume in relation to five major cultural groups in America -- African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans and Muslim Americans. While each group addresses a separate set of issues, all are faced with questions of relations with the majority culture, of assimilation versus accomodation and of poverty, inequality, isolation and discrimination.
