America’s Changing Neighborhoods
An Exploration of Diversity through Places
4 VOLUMES | REED UEDA, EDITOR
Race, ethnicity, and immigrants’ lives and identity: these are all key topics that
Americans need to study in order to fully understand U.S. culture, society, politics,
economics, and history. Learning about “place” through our own historical and
contemporary neighborhoods is an ideal way to better grasp the important role of race
and ethnicity in the United States. This reference work comprehensively covers both
historical and contemporary ethnic and immigrant neighborhoods through A–Z entries
that explore the places and people in every major U.S. region and neighborhood.
