Preface
The first fifteen years of the 21st century have witnessed significant changes. The heavily written about growth in the Latino population has overtaken the African American population with the Asian American population growing faster than either. Meanwhile, the number of White non-Hispanic youth has actually become a numerical minority when compared collectively to the other racial and ethnic groups. Yet along- side these demographic changes has been a series of events that serve to underscore the diversity of the American people.
People cheered on May 1, 2011, upon hearing that Osama bin Laden had been found and killed. However, the always patriotic American Indian people were very troubled to learn that the military had assigned the code name "Geronimo" to the infamous terrorist. The Chiricahua Apache of New Mexico were particularly disturbed to learn the name of their freedom fighter was used in this manner.
Barack Obama may be the son of an immigrant and the first African American president, but that is not the end of his ethnicity. On an official state visit to Ireland, the president made a side trip to the village of Moneygall in County Offaly from where his great-great- grandfather Falmouth Kearney, a shoemaker's son, came to the United States in 1850.
Race and ethnicity are an important part of the national agenda. Thirty years ago, when the first edition of this book was being written, it was noted that race is not a static phenomenon and that, although it is always a part of the social reality, specific aspects change. At that time, the presence of a new immigrant group, the Vietnamese, was duly noted, and the efforts to define affirmative action were described . Today, we seek to describe the growing presence of Salvadorans, Haitians, Tongans, Somalis, Hmong, and Arab Americans.
Specific issues may change over time, but they continue to play out against a backdrop of discrimination that is rooted in the social structure and changing population composi- tion as influenced by immigration and reproduction patterns . One unanticipated change is that the breakup of the Soviet Union and erosion of power of totalitarian leaders in the Middle East have made ethnic, language, and religious divisions even more significant sources of antagonism between and within nations. The old ideological debates about communism and capitalism have been replaced by emotional divisions over religious dogma and cultural traditions.
Changes in the Fourteenth Edition We continue to take full advantage of the most recent data releases from the Census Bureau through the annual American Community Survey. This allows the timelier updat- ing of information, instead of waiting for the results of the census every ten years. The reader will find updated and revised tables, figures, maps, and Internet sources. As one example of the thorough updating, we note that over 30 percent of the citations in the references are new since the last edition.
Learning Objectives are explicitly identified at the beginning of each chapter with the numbered Summary points and Review Questions at the conclusion of each chapter tied specifically to each objective.
Relevant scholarly findings in a variety of disciplines, including economics, anthro- pology, social psychology, and communication sciences, have been incorporated. The

xx Preface
Speaking Out feature appears in every chapter. These selections provide firsthand commentaries on race and ethnicity in America. This helps us appreciate the expres- sion and passion of racial and ethnic groups in response to prejudice and challenges. Excerpts are included from the writings or speeches of noted members of racial and ethnic groups, such as Elie Wiesel, W. E. B. DuBois, Tomas R. Jimenez, Helen Zia, and Nelson Mandela. Their writings will help students appreciate the emotional and the intellectual energies felt by subordinate groups.
New to this edition are Key Terms of environmental refugees, feminism, kanaka maoli, medical apartheid, religion, segmented assimilation, and two-state solution. Previous users will see a definite increase in the effort to introduce key terms throughout the book in an effort to make them a part of the reader's working vocabulary.
Along with the Speaking Out feature, the Research Focus and Global View boxes offer new insights into the ever-changing nature of race and ethnicity. Eighteen of these boxes are new to the fourteenth edition.
The Spectrum of Intergroup Relations figure now appears in sixteen of the chapters. Included among these is a large, comprehensive Spectrum at the end of the final chapter, which ties the observations together from throughout the textbook.
The fourteenth edition includes entirely new sections on why hate crimes carry harsher penalties, avoiding racial and ethnic groups through the Internet, the African American middle class, the state of education among Hispanics, and contemporary feminism.
We continue and update the new feature added in the twelfth edition called A Global View, consisting of boxes that profile racial and ethnic issues in other nations. This edition features an entirely new one on "France Noire: Black France." These discussions are intended to create a dialogue between the student reader and the material in this book concerning the similarities in racial and ethnic issues globally.
Chapter-by-Chapter Changes As with all previous editions, every line, every source, and every number has been rechecked for its currency. We pride ourselves on providing the most current informa- tion possible to document the patterns in intergroup relations both in the United States and abroad.
