Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This book isn't cheap, but it's well worth the sticker price for people seriously interested in the role of race and ethnicity in American life. Distinguished Harvard historian Stephan Thernstrom assembled an impressive collection of experts to write definitively on almost every racial and ethnic group that has had a presence in the United States. A series of extended essays on assimilation, language, law, literature, politics, and other topics also make the book essential reading. The massive numbers of new immigrants entering the United States will demand that this book receive an essential update sometime in the 21st century, but until then it remains a wonderful resource covering more than 200 years of American history.


Review

This is a major work of scholarship, something that has never been attempted before. It will be an enduring monument to the foresight and large-mindedness of those responsible for its landmark publication. It will be something our grandchildren will thank us for.
--Daniel P. Moynihan

Certain to be the standard reference work, to which scholars and lay people alike are certain to turn for many years to come. There is literally no other work which approaches it in comprehensiveness. Even more impressive, however, is the quality of the articles. The editors should be congratulated.
--Seymour Martin Lipset

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of Encyclopedia, September 21, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The encyclopedia I received was in fair condition and there were no markings on the inside of the book, as was stated by the seller. However, it was a former library book and had been well used with markings from the library. I don't remember that it was referred to as being a former library book. That's OK though because they did not charge very much for the book and it satisfies my purposes. Thank you.
