1. The Ethnic Project
The book in question explores the complex dynamics of race and ethnicity in the United States, examining how various immigrant groups have navigated and shaped their identities within the country's racial hierarchy. It delves into the historical and sociological processes that have led to the assimilation of certain ethnic groups into the category of "whiteness," while others remain marginalized. Through a critical analysis of these ethnic projects, the book reveals the strategies employed by different groups to gain social acceptance and economic mobility, and how these efforts have contributed to the perpetuation of racial inequalities. The narrative challenges readers to reconsider the constructs of race and ethnicity and their impact on American society.
