      abstract = {Brought completely up to date to reflect recent  scholarship and the new wave of immigration to the United  States in the last decade, the second edition of this  immensely popular book highlights a much-neglected  dimension of the American past by giving a unique focus to  the history of the nation's minority groups. Within the  context of the country's economic development, the authors  show how blacks, Indians, and immigrant minorities helped  transform an agrarian society into the modern  industrial-urban nation of the 1990s. Remarkable in the  breadth of its coverage, this is the first survey that  integrates the experiences of racial, religious, and ethnic  minorities to present an overall sense of American history  while illuminating major trends in the growth of the United  States. The Second Edition includes entirely new material  on Indian efforts to retain their cultural independence and  their attempts to shape relations with the majority  society. The book also new data on recent refugees and  current immigration legislation. Written in the same clear,  straightforward style that made the previous edition so  popular, the Second Edition, which features many  well-chosen illustrations, will be essential reading for  students of American ethnic history.},
