Divided into four volumes, Race and Ethnicity in America provides a
complete overview of the history of racial and ethnic relations in
America, from pre-contact to the present. The five hundred years
since Europeans made contact with the indigenous peoples of America
have been dominated by racial and ethnic tensions. During the
colonial period, from 1500 to 1776, slavery and servitude of
whites, blacks, and Indians formed the foundation for race and
ethnic relations. After the American Revolution, slavery, labor
inequalities, and immigration led to racial and ethnic tensions;
after the Civil War, labor inequalities, immigration, and the fight
for civil rights dominated America's racial and ethnic experience.
From the 1960s to the present, the unfulfilled promise of civil
rights for all ethnic and racial groups in America has been the
most important sociopolitical issue in America. Race and Ethnicity
in America tells this story of the fight for equality in America.
The first volume spans pre-contact to the American Revolution; the
second, the American Revolution to the Civil War; the third,
Reconstruction to the Civil Rights Movement; and the fourth, the
Civil Rights Movement to the present. All volumes explore the
culture, society, labor, war and politics, and cultural expressions
of racial and ethnic groups. Contextualizes the political
experiences and contributions of minorities within American
politics, society, and culture Includes people of color (e.g.,

ease of reference Comprises A-Z entries that detail the political,
social, and cultural histories of racial and ethnic minority
