Summary |
A pathbreaking work by one of the leading scholars in the field, "Iron Cages" provides a unique comparative analysis of white attitudes towards Asians, Blacks, Mexicans, and Native Americans in the nineteenth century, offering a cohesive study of the foundations of race and culture in America. In his provocative new epilogue, "The Fourth Iron Cage," Takaki focuses on race in contemporary society within the context of America's nuclear arms-oriented ecomony. He compares the Asian-American "model minority" and the Black underclass, and extends his analysis to Native Americans, Chicanos and Puerto Ricans. |
