Strangers to These Shores: Race and Ethnic Relations in the United States

by Vincent N. Parrillo

As a textbook for courses on race and ethnic relations in the United States, 'Strangers to These Shores' is a comprehensive examination of both the sharpest edges and the nuances of American pluralism. Its 14 chapters provide students and other readers--even those for whom it is not assigned--a well conceived, carefully constructed, and highly readable introduction to a very complex subject.

This is a great book for sociology 133. It is jam packed with valuable information. You should be able to get an A in your class with considerable ease. All one has to do is read

I didn't read this book in its entirety. It was used in a sociology class I took a couple years ago. There wasn't anything special about this book. It had the same information as a previous book I had to get for a different course that I had sold already. I skimmed through most of this book, and read what I was supposed to. It is still in my possession. The bookstore wouldn't buy it back and it became forgotten until I found it in my closet not too long ago. It was an expensive book that was a waste of money. It was barely used in the class. I thought about burning it to help work out my own frustrations, but decided to keep it. Now I am going to use it as a base for a floating bookshelf or destroy it for the sake of arts and crafts.

This is a textbook - I'm not recommending it unless you are enrolled in the Race and Minority Relation class and then you have to read it whether or not you want to. I just didn't want y'all to think I'm not reading anything right now.
