HEAR SAMPLE

"[This] should be required reading for anyone interested in policy questions involving race
and ethnicity. The book's extraordinary merit is its application of demographic and economic analysis
to historical and social materials."New Republic

"Ethnic America is at once useful as a concise history of major ethnic groups and significant as
a quiet but powerful attack on liberal beliefs about minorities, racism, segregation, and affirmative action."
New York Times Book Review

Thomas Sowell provides us with a useful and concise record tracing the history of nine ethnic groupsIrish,
Germans, Jews, Italians, Chinese, Japanese, Blacks, Puerto Ricans, and Mexicans.

He offers perspective-building facts, such as the fact that there are more people of Irish ancestry in the United
States than in Ireland and more Jews than in Israel. He explains each ethnic group's varied experiences in
adapting to American society.

Thomas Sowell is a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, and the recipient of many awards and prizes. His previous books for Blackstone Audiobooks include: Ethnic America, Civil Rights: Rhetoric or Reality?, A Personal Odyssey, The Economics and Politics of Race, and many others.
