A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America

A Different Mirror by Ronald Takaki is a groundbreaking book that offers a fresh perspective on American history, told from the viewpoint of minority groups.

This revised edition includes new additions such as the role of black soldiers in preserving the Union, the history of Chinese Americans from 1900-1941, and an investigation into the hot-button issue of "illegal" immigrants from Mexico.

Takaki's work is a remarkable achievement that grapples with the raw truth of American history and examines what it means to be an American.

This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complex and diverse nature of American identity.
