Natives and Strangers

A History of Ethnic Americans

Fifth Edition


Now in its fifth edition, Natives and Strangers: A History of Ethnic Americans examines the impact that America has had on minority peoples and cultures--and vice versa. It integrates the experiences of various racial, religious, and national minorities from around the globe--including American Indians, African Americans, and immigrants from Europe, Asia, Latin America, and other parts of the world--explaining how their histories intertwined with the emergence of modern America. Revised, updated, and condensed, the fifth edition incorporates the latest research on such critical topics as American Indian affairs, western American development, and African American experiences. It also focuses on successive waves of different immigrants while exploring the evolution and complexities of American immigration policies.
