This is a book I sold many times to customers when I worked in the bookstore and now have finally read it. This is a thorough history book of US History from a perspective of different groups of people who make up the USA. I was expecting another general history but found the scope of this to be quite different. It does not cover the stories from a one melting pot narrative but gets into the dynamics of groups of people from small minority culture to also larger more dominate culture.
