Book overview

A dramatic retelling of our nation's past by today's preeminent multiculturalism scholar, Ronald Takaki, this book examines America's history in "a different mirror"--from the perspective of the minority peoples themselves.

A "brilliant revisionist history of America." --Publishers Weekly

Ronald Takaki's A Different Mirror is a landmark work that retells American history from the bottom up, through the lives of many minorities--Native Americans, African Americans, Jewish Americans, Irish Americans, Asian Americans, Latino Americans, and others--who helped create this country's mighty economy and rich mosaic culture.
