A DIFFERENT MIRROR FOR YOUNG PEOPLE: A HISTORY OF MULTICULTURAL AMERICA
Book ID/图书代码： 12070012B58396
English Summary/英文概要： A longtime professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of California at Berkeley, Ronald Takaki was recognized as one of the foremost scholars of American ethnic history and diversity. When the first edition of A Different Mirror was published in 1993, Publisher’s Weekly called it "a brilliant revisionist history of America that is likely to become a classic of multicultural studies" and named it one of the ten best books of the year. Now Rebecca Stefoff, who adapted Howard Zinn’s best-selling A People’s History of the United States for younger readers, turns the updated 2008 edition of Takaki’s multicultural masterwork into A Different Mirror for Young People.
Drawing on Takaki’s vast array of primary sources, and staying true to his own words whenever possible, A Different Mirror for Young People brings ethnic history alive through the words of people, including teenagers, who recorded their experiences in letters, diaries, and poems. Like Zinn’s A People’s History, Takaki’s A Different Mirror for Young People offers a rich and rewarding "people’s view" perspective on the American story.

REVIEWS
"A Different Mirror advances a truly humane sense of American possibility."—Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
"The “mirror” that Ronald Takaki holds up to the United States reflects a multicultural history of oppression and exploitation, but also struggle, solidarity, and community. In the most profound sense, this is a people’s history of our country. Takaki shows what has torn us apart, yet what knits us together. This Young People’s version of A Different Mirror will introduce a new generation to Takaki’s pathbreaking scholarship."—Bill Bigelow, Curriculum Editor, Rethinking Schools and Co-director, Zinn Education Project
