This highly readable book offers the first comprehensive definition
of the field of ethnic studies, covering both the major issues of
the field and its theoretical and methodological approaches. Ethnic
Studies traces the origins and evolution of the discipline in the
United States and maps its domain. The majority of the work
considers central issues in ethnicity such as identity,
stratification, adaptation, discrimination, racism, segregation,
conflict, ethnicity and politics, and race, class and gender. For
each issue, key concepts are introduced, main dimensions outlined,
empirical evidence presented, theoretical approaches discussed, and
often an alternative perspective is suggested.
Yang highlights several current issues in ethnic studies such as
affirmative action, illegal/legal immigration, and bilingual
education and the English-only movement.
