One of the world s leading historians of race relations, George
Fredrickson in his newest book probes the history of racial and
ethnic diversity in the United States and other parts of the world.
"Diverse Nations" explores recent interpretations of slavery and
race relations in the United States and introduces comparative
perspectives on Europe, South Africa, and Brazil. Notably, the book
features groundbreaking work comparing ethnoracial pluralism in
France and the United States. In contrast to the similarities of
race relations in the United States and South Africa, which both
drew rigid domestic color lines, the United States and France have
historically diverged greatly in their approaches to racial
difference. Yet both are influenced by a common heritage of
revolutionary republicanism, extensive immigration, and cultural
pluralism. Fredrickson s rich comparisons provide stimulating new
insights into the continuing impacts of slavery and beliefs about
race upon our increasingly pluralistic societies."
