"Though America had been rightfully portrayed as born of democratic
principles, to no less an extent was it born of undemocratic ones.
America is thus a living contradiction of many dimensions --
historical, sociological, and psychological -- that have manifested
themselves at every level of society -- individual, communal, and
natural".
So writes Philip Perlmutter, whose Legacy of Hate explores this
"living contradiction" by tracing the development of American
minority group relations, beginning with the arrival of white
Europeans and moving through the eighteenth and industrially
expanding nineteenth centuries; the explosion of immigration and
its attendant problems in the twentieth century; and a final
chapter exploring how prejudice (racial, religious, and ethnic) has
been institutionalized in the educational systems and laws.
Throughout this provocative book, Perlmutter focuses on where
and why various groups encountered prejudice and discrimination and
how their experiences have shaped the society we live in and how we
think about one another.
