Takaki, Ronald A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America
Little Brown & Co June 1993 0-316-83112-3 / 9780316831123 1st Edition Hardcover NF/NF
A highly collectible first edition/printing, tight clean copy, protected in a new brodart wrapper, no inscriptions, unclipped dustjacket, this is not an Ex-Lib or a BCE/BOMC edition. In a vibrantly rich, moving multicultural tapestry, Takaki ( Strangers from a Different Shore ) provides a fresh slant on American society by tracing the interwoven histories of Native Americans, Africans, Chinese, Japanese, Chicanos, Irish and Jewish immigrants. We see how 17th-century white planters, anxious to weaken an armed, politicized, white proletariat, enslaved an unarmed black workforce, with explosive consequences. We follow Chicano struggles as an integral part of America's westward expansion and learn how Jewish-black solidarity extends back to John Brown's uprising in 1856 against slavery in Kansas, an insurrection in which Jews participated. We see how oppression of the Irish (the first people the English called "savages") foreshadowed the subjugation of Native Americans. Interweaving voices from all points on the ethnic rainbow, Takaki, ethnic studies professor at UC Berkeley, has produced a brilliant revisionist history of America that is likely to become a classic of multicultural studies.

Takaki, Ronald Strangers from a Different Shore : A History of Asian Americans Au of...
Back Bay Books September 23, 1 0-316-83130-1 / 9780316831307 Paperback Near Fine
Chinese immigrants to the U.S. in the 19th century were transformed into ou tsiders by racism and economic exploitation. This pattern, Takaki shows, wo uld be imposed on other Asian immigrant groups. Filipinos, condescended to as "little brown brothers" by whites in the Philippines, became targets of violent white backlash once they emigrated to the U.S.; Indians were feared and persecuted as labor competition; Japanese-Americans withdrew into self -contained communities. Takaki, descended from a Japanese-American family w ho labored on Hawaiian plantations, and now an ethnic studies professor at UC Berkeley, has written a vibrant, rich history that gives back a voice to countless "invisible Americans." His broad, multi-ethnic survey is peopled with real individuals, allowing us to experience their loneliness, separat ion from families, struggles for survival. Later chapters cover the internm ent of Japanese-Americans during WW II and the post-1965 "second wave" of A sian immigrants that included Vietnamese, Cambodians and Laotians.
