Book Description:
|
As the 2000 census demonstrated, the Anglo-Protestant ethnic core of the U.S. has all but dissolved. This demographic shift has spawned a "culture war" within white America. Kaufmann traces the conflict's roots from the rise of WASP America to its fall in the 1960s, when social institutions finally began to reflect the nation's ethnic composition.
