A longtime professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of
California at Berkeley, Ronald Takaki was recognized as one of the
foremost scholars of American ethnic history and diversity. When
the first edition of "A" "Different Mirror "was published in 1993,
"Publishers Weekly "called it "a brilliant revisionist history of
America that is likely to become a classic of multicultural
studies" and named it one of the ten best books of the year. Now
Rebecca Stefoff, who adapted Howard Zinn's best-selling "A People's
History of the United States "for younger readers, turns the
updated 2008 edition of Takaki's multicultural masterwork into "A
Different Mirror for" "Young People."
Drawing on Takaki's vast array of primary sources, and staying true
to his own words whenever possible, "A" "Different Mirror for Young
People "brings ethnic history alive through the words of people,
including teenagers, who recorded their experiences in letters,
diaries, and poems. Like Zinn's "A People's History," Takaki's "A"
"Different Mirror "offers a rich and rewarding "people's view"
perspective on the American story.
