Publishers Weekly

Ronald Takaki’s A Different Mirror is a landmark work that retells American history from the bottom up, through the lives of many minorities—Native Americans, African Americans, Jewish Americans, Irish Americans, Asian Americans, Latino Americans, and others—who helped create this country’s mighty economy and rich mosaic culture.
