In this extensive study of ethnic labeling in the United States' popular speech and usage, the author explores the major traditional themes behind the development of ethnic slurs. Viewing U.S. slang as a reflection of social diversity, rapid change, and the complexity of U.S. society, he puts forth a special insight into the social workings of U.S. culture, both past and present. "Eminently readable fare for language buffs and sociologists." Booklist
