Summary Bayor (history, Georgia Tech), wishing to get a sense of "how the peopling of America took place," presents eight chronological chapters exploring the history of immigration, race, and ethnicity in the United States. Authors were asked to deal with issues of migration, intergroup relations, nativism and racism, and identity formation, as well as the changing views on immigration and ethnicity among the wider society during the period under examination. The papers collectively cover the period 1600 to 2000. Annotation ♭2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
