Diversity in the United States: A Cultural History of the Past
Century is a cultural history of diversity in the United States
over the past one hundred years. Diversity-defined here as
Americans of different racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds-is
currently very much in the national conversation. The book explores
diversity in a historical context, bringing a much-needed
perspective on what is a passionate theme in contemporary American
society. Told chronologically and divided into five twenty-year
eras, the book sheds new light on the important role that diversity
has played in our national identity. The subject is parsed through
the voices of intellectuals and journalists who have weighed in on
its many different dimensions. The primary argument of the work is
that the concept of diversity has functioned as a key site of both
congruence and division in the United States for the past one
hundred years, providing a sense of who we are as a people while at
the same time exposing inequities based on race, ethnicity, and
religion. Both an academic audience and the many readers of
non-fiction will find the book to be a valuable and insightful
resource.
