Críticas
"Provides not only an excellent survey and analysis of prominent issues...but also offers sharp and empirically sound studies of the ethnoracial, gender, and other minority groups in the United States. One of the best texts in race and ethnic relations." Stanford M. Lyman, Florida Atlantic University "A common word used in the assessment of this book by several sociologists is comprehensive....We are invited to read in the pages that follow the story of a resilient society that is struggling to achieve unity out of diversity and, at the same time, guarantee the right to be different....Of special value in this book are the sociological concepts and theories in Part I that are helpful in interpreting and understanding how and why strangers to these shores have adapted to the customs of this country they way they have....Professor Parrillo has made a major contribution to the study of intergroup relations. Charles V. Willie, Harvard University "Strangers to These Shores is...a comprehensive examination of the sharpest edges and more nuanced qualities of American pluralism. In its 15 chapters, Professor Parrillo provides students/readers-and those for whom it is not assigned!-with a well conceived, carefully constructed, and highly readable introduction to a very complex subject." Peter I. Rose, Smith College "Parrillo effectively captures the creative energy and tension of the multiracial, multiethnic reality that is American reality-historically, theoretically, and empirically." Walda Katz-Fishman, Howard University "A theoretically informed and historically rich account...with a comprehensive, up-to-date treatment [that] makes it an indispensable guide to the evolution and current state of minority-majority relations. I recommend it highly for classroom use." Richard D. Alba, CUNY Graduate Center "How wonderful to find between the covers of a single volume the experiences of more than a hundred ethnic groups in America presented in concise fashion against a backdrop of major sociological themes." Betty Lee Sung, CUNY "From its opening reflections on the stranger as a social phenomenon to its thoughtful conclusion on the nature and future of the American mosaic, Strangers to These Shores remains one of the best textbooks ever published on race and ethnic relations in the United States. Freshly updated with an eye for detail, engagingly written and a pleasure to read, this new edition practices what it preaches: Parrillo takes diversity in America seriously and seeks to understand it through historically-grounded analyses of the variety of patterns of majority-minority relations and with richly drawn portraits of scores of groups who have made this the world's most ethnically diverse society. An excellent introduction to a challenging, complex, and ever-changing field of study." Ruben G. Rumbaut, University of California, Irvine
