Description
"This book is a clean, muscular argument that the story of all minority groups in America-including blacks-has always been a slow but steady move to equality with the ruling class. Barone usefully shows that culture-internal factors can retard this climb as much as racism or the pitfalls of capitalism. Overall, the The New Americans challenges all of America to truly see the arbitrariness and evanescence of what we call 'race.' The chapter on the Irish, alone, should be required reading in all African-American Studies departments."
