Notes:

"The Fifth Edition of 'Minorities in American Society' is not only updated but also takes great cognizance of the voices of minority spokesmen and attempts to convey the sense of their world. Important recent trends include a revitalized neo-ethnic consciousness and identification and its politicization; the recurrence of black-white polarization and its potential spread, and the impact of Third World consciousness on American minorities. New research much of it done by scholars whose roots are in one or another minority experience, has helped correct formerly 'dominant' assumptions and stereotypes."--Preface.
