More Description American Ethnicityis a brief text that provides an accessible introduction to the dynamics of racial and ethnic relations. Key concepts and theories are summarized, and the authors develop a simple theoretical framework that guides the presentation of data on each of the prominent ethnic groups in America.

The sixth edition offers expanded theoretical framework through the inclusion of the Social Identity Theory.
