When his book Mainstream and Margins was published in 1983, Peter
Rose's writings on American minorities and those who studied them
painted a vivid picture of what life was like in America for Jews,
blacks, and other minorities in the United States. Now, a third of
a century later, he revisits the topic, with sixteen new chapters,
in addition to seven from the original edition. Newer content
covers immigration and American refugee policy; reexamines the term
"model minority," first used to describe Jews, but now applied to
Asian Americans; and the resurgence of nativism both in regard to
new migrants from Latin America and to the growth of Islamophobia
since the 9/11 attacks. Rose also reassesses what is still one of
the most controversial documents about race and class ever written,
Daniel Patrick Moynihan's "The Negro Family: A Case for National
Action." Rose writes about other authors who have addressed many of
the principal concerns of this book, ranging from novelists Tom
Wolfe and Harper Lee to sociologists David Riesman, Robin M.
Williams, Jr., and William Julius Wilson. Historical tensions
between Jews and African Americans and debates about "liberal" vs.
"corporate" pluralism seen from the perspective of both whites and
non-whites are also discussed in this seminal volume by a master on
the subject.
