Takaki traces the economic and political history of Indians, African Americans, Mexicans, Japanese, Chinese, Irish, and Jewish people in America, with considerable attention given to instances and consequences of racism. The narrative is laced with short quotations, cameos of personal experiences, and excerpts from folk music and literature. Well-known occurrences, such as the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, the Trail of Tears, the Harlem Renaissance, and the Japanese internment are included. Students may be surprised by some of the revelations, but will recognize a constant thread of rampant racism. The author concludes with a summary of today's changing economic climate and offers Rodney King's challenge to all of us to try to get along. Readers will find this overview to be an accessible, cogent jumping-off place for American history and political science plus a guide to the myriad other sources identified in the notes.

This volume is to honour Victor Kiernan, one of the most distinguished Marxist historians alive 'a member, along with Eric Hobsbawm, of the famous British Communist Party Historians' Group of the 1940s, consisting of E.P. Thompson, Christopher Hill, Rodney Hilton, George Rud, A.L. Morton and others. Kiernan, as Christopher Hill observed, 'is one of the most versatile of British historians', and his interests spread across time and continents. Reproduced here is a selection of Kiernan's historical writings on India, on the Urdu poets Faiz and Iqbal, and his reminiscences of his India years. The volume also contains an appreciation of the historian and the man by Eric Hobsbawm; a lengthy study of Kiernan's work by Harvey J. Kaye; and an Introduction by the editor.

"I come from Des Moines. Somebody had to." And, as soon as Bill Bryson was old enough, he left. Des Moines couldn't hold him, but it did lure him back. After ten years in England he returned to the land of his youth, and drove almost 14,000 miles in search of a mythical small town called Amalgam, the kind of smiling village where the movies from his youth were set. Instead he drove through a series of horrific burgs, which he renamed Smellville, Fartville, Coleslaw, Coma, and Doldrum. At best his search led him to Anywhere, USA, a lookalike strip of gas stations, motels and hamburger outlets populated by obese and slow-witted hicks with a partiality for synthetic fibres. He discovered a continent that was doubly lost: lost to itself because he found it blighted by greed, pollution, mobile homes and television; lost to him because he had become a foreigner in his own country.
