Rather than focusing on separate groups sequentially, this work emphasizes comparisons across groups and highlights how demographic and social structural processes affect all groups. Specific topics covered include the formation of race and ethnicity; population projections by race; immigration, fertility, and mortality differentials; segregation; work and education; intermarriage; aging; and racism.Cultural pluralismCongressesMinoritiesUnited StatesSocial conditionsCongressesEthnicityUnited StatesCongressesUnited StatesPopulationCongressesUnited StatesEthnic relationsCongressesUnited StatesRace relationsCongressesCultural pluralismMinoritiesSocial conditionsEthnicity305.8/00973Denton Nancy A790902Tolnay Stewart Emory1647241MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910819435603321American diversity3994699UNINA
