From Booklist
Bayor gathers essays by history professors who address the impact and creation of race and ethnic identity in the peopling and formation of America. Although these essays are presented in chronological order, starting with the early colonists' first encounters with Native Americans and proceeding to the increasingly multicultural America of today, there are many recurring themes and much overlap as to who, what, and how America came to be. Readers learn that the Irish were once considered a different race, with a status just above that of blacks. They subsequently secured white status through politics, among other outlets. Native Americans also went through numerous shifts in perception and status as a result of unenforceable treaties. Mexican Americans saw their land and identities consumed by the push westward. Chinese, who helped tame the American West, were the first group to be excluded from immigration. Then there are the various waves of European immigrants who subsequently merged into the American mainstream, unlike Americans of African descent. This compelling work reflects the fluidity and complexity of American race identity. Vernon Ford

Product Review
"The detailed bibliographic guides and historiographical reviews that each author provides, probably alone justify buying this work. If offers enough to reward new readers to the field, and some refreshing approaches for those more familiar." -- Andrew Fearnley, Journal of American Studies
"This concise and helpful volumeis able to hold a torch for us, turning a shadow-behind into a light-ahead, and is thus able to serve our life now and here in this increasingly multicultural era." -- Chung-Hsiung Lai, American Studies
"The essays in Race and Ethnicity in America provide more than a "concise history"; they provide a fine one." -- Cheryl Greenberg, Journal of American Ethnic History
