A Different Mirror for Young People: A History of Multicultural America

Renowned professor Ronald Takaki brings ethnic history alive through the words of people, including teenagers, who recorded their experiences in letters, diaries, and poems. Takaki's masterpiece offers a rich and rewarding 'people's view' perspective on the American story. Originally published in 1993, Publishers Weekly named it one of the top ten best books of the year. In this updated version, Rebecca Stefoff adapts Takaki's masterwork into an illuminating text for younger readers.
