It integrates materials and approaches from several perspectives smoothly and effectively to make the material more comprehensive and interesting. Contributions towards race and ethnic relations are presented from the social sciences: history, economics, social psychology, sociology, anthropology and political science. This insightful text is organized into an analytical framework: six different chapters contrast different minority groups at varying stages to review each group's reaction and strategic and tactical approach to coping with its minority status. It discusses the complex processes of race and ethnic relations within society while emphasizing public policy and its effect on groups in minority status.Le May, Michael C. is the author of 'The Perennial Struggle : Race, Ethnicity, and Minority Group Politics in the United States' with ISBN 9780130205476 and ISBN 0130205478.
