Book Review

Not Just Black and White: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Immigration, Race, and Ethnicity in the United States. Ed. by Nancy Foner and George M. Fredrickson. (New York: Russell Sage Foundation, 2004. xiv, 390 pp. $45.00, ISBN 0-87154-259-5.)

This collection of essays, by a distinguished group of historians and social scientists, expertly covers a variety of critical topics related to race, ethnicity, and immigration. Focusing on the years from the late nineteenth century to the present and, in certain cases, systematically comparing contemporary immigrants with those of the turn of the twentieth century, the essays—all original to this volume—examine how various immigrant groups at various times have come to understand themselves racially and ethnically in the United States; to what extent and how they have incorporated themselves into the American economy, society, and polity; how those various groups have gotten along with each other and with native-born Americans of all hues, but especially with African Americans; and what role the state (among other institutions) has played in these matters.
