Celebrated author John Iceland covers various topics, including America's historical demographic growth; the American family today; gender inequality; economic well-being; immigration and diversity; racial and ethnic inequality; internal migration and residential segregation; and health and mortality. The discussion of these topics is informed by several sources, including an examination of household survey data, and by syntheses of existing published material, both quantitative and qualitative. Iceland discusses the current issues and controversies around these themes, highlighting their role in everyday debates taking place in Congress, the media, and in American living rooms. Each chapter includes historical background, as well as a discussion of how patterns and trends in the United States compare to those in peer countries. 606 $aFamilies$zUnited States 606 $aEquality$zUnited States 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aRace discrimination$zUnited States 606 $aPoverty$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xPopulation 610 $a21st century american culture. 610 $aamerican family. 610 $aamerican studies. 610 $achanging population. 610 $acontemporary challenges. 610 $ademocracy. 610 $adiscrimination. 610 $adiversity. 610 $aeconomic inequality. 610 $aeconomic well being. 610 $aethnic inequality. 610 $afamily. 610 $agender inequality. 610 $ahealth disparities. 610 $ahealth. 610 $ahistorical demographic growth. 610 $ahistorical. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aimmigration. 610 $ainequality. 610 $ainternal migration. 610 $apolitical. 610 $apoverty. 610 $aracial inequality. 610 $aracial tensions. 610 $aresidential segregation. 610 $asociology in the twenty-first century series. 610 $asociology. 610 $aunited states of america. 615 0$aFamilies 615 0$aEquality 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aRace discrimination 615 0$aPoverty 676 $a304.60973 686 $aSOC006000$aSOC002010$aPOL000000$2bisacsh 700 $aIceland$b John$f1970-$01090295 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910807805003321 996 $aA portrait of America$94097540 997 $aUNINA
