- Summary:
- The Encyclopedia of Modern American Social Issues examines more than 160 issues, events, and ideas that affect many areas of American life.

Additional entries provide background on issues that are primarily identified with previous centuries but that continue to influence modern issues and controversies. The informative and succinct discussions of these and other social issues found in this volume provide an invaluable resource for students, librarians, historians, and others interested in American social affairs. Cross references, a bibliography, and an index round out the volume.
