"Important and entirely admirable....[Gordon's] review of theories of Anglo-conformity, the melting pot, and cultural pluralism is the best I have ever seen. Specialists in intergroup relations will find Gordon's book a most useful addition to their personal bookshelves and an indispensable newcomer to their pedagogical repertoire."--American Sociological Review
"Most informative text on the subject of socialization process."--Carl E. Jackson, California State University, Fullerton
"Excellent."--M. Mc Cauley, Dyersbury State, Indiana
