Ethnic Myth Race, Ethnicity, and Class in America

In this classic work, sociologist Stephen Steinberg rejects the prevailing view that cultural values and ethnic traits are the primary determinants of the economic destiny of racial and ethnic groups in America. He argues that locality, class conflict, selective migration, and other historical and economic factors play a far larger role not only in producing inequalities but in maintaining them as well, thus providing an insightful explanation into why some groups are successful in their pursuit of the American dream and others are not.Steinberg, Stephen is the author of 'Ethnic Myth Race, Ethnicity, and Class in America', published 2001 under ISBN 9780807041536 and ISBN 080704153X.
