Racial & Ethnic Relations in America Review
-ARBA, 2001
“Gr 9 Up-An excellent compendium of articles related to race relations and ethnicity in the U.S. and Canada. Topics range from the obscure ‘Filipino Veterans' movement’ to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case, yet all were chosen for their theoretical, historical, and/or current relevance. An introductory paragraph summarizes the content of all but the shortest of the alphabetical entries. Longer articles such as ‘American Indian dance and music,’ ‘Japanese Americans,’ and the ‘Separatist movement in Quebec’ are followed by an annotated bibliography and see-also references. Lists of entries by broad subject area, an index of people, and a general index facilitate access. Other features include a chronology of pertinent events, brief biographies of ‘Pioneers of Intergroup Relations,’ and a comprehensive bibliography. Black-and-white photographs, charts, time lines, and graphs are sprinkled throughout this authoritative resource.”
