Recensioner i media

"The essays here work well together, and the quiet arguments among some of them here liven up an already interesting volume, one that presents an informative and interesting view of American group life. Those who want to better understand multicultural debates in the United States would do well to read this book." -- Jeff Spinner-Halev, Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development "This is definitely a book for our times. Its critical stand is refreshing, the scholarship sound, and the balance between history and current affairs judicious." -- Olivier Zunz, author of Making America Corporate: 1872-1920
