American Mosaic helps students expand their historical awareness and critical-thinking skills while they study the development of literary, political, and cultural voices within the United States. A chronological framework allows students to examine key events in the history of ethnic groups in the U.S., with each chapter centering on a significant historical period for the group. An introductory chapter provides a foundation for multi-ethnic studies and the multicultural debate. Chapter introductions set the historical context and provide starting points for discussion.
