America's Multicultural Heritage

The World Book of America's Multicultural Heritage celebrates the rich diversity of people who proudly call themselves Americans.

This highly illustrated set tells the compelling tales of those who struggled to make lives better for themselves and their descendants. It also carefully explores the less positive side of immigration through discussions of racial and ethnic prejudice, discriminatory laws, and the sometimes violent confrontations that have occurred between groups or individuals.

The two-volume set is chronologically arranged and begins with the stories of the earliest immigrants and concludes with the September 11, 2001 attacks and the resulting revamping of immigration law.
