About this ebook
The classic work on how different ethnic groups have economically, socially, and educationally adapted to American society

A distinguished economist traces the history of nine American ethnic groups—the Irish, Germans, Jews, Italians, Chinese, Japanese, Blacks, Puerto Ricans, and Mexicans—in order to explain their varied experiences in adapting to American society.
