Reviews"This is an interesting book on who is perceived to be an American. Pinder's systematic analysis and discussion of the racialization of all the hyphenated groups (Chinese-American, Native Americans, and African-Americans, et cetera) is exciting. This book is a welcome and erudite contribution to the African studies field, political science, and women's studies, especially for classes on race and gender."--Thelma Pinto, Co-Director of Africana Studies, Hobart & William Smith Colleges; and Past President of the African Literature Association, "This is an interesting book on who is perceived to be an American.

Table Of ContentIntroduction: The Americanization and De-Americanization of Racialized Ethnic Groups Contextual Reflection and Historical Perspective An American Identity in Retrospect 'Whiteness' as the Definitive Conceptualization of an American Identity The Quandary of Multiculturalism in America Racialized Ethnic Groups as a Threat to America's National Identity Rethinking and Reframing Multiculturalism Conclusion
SynopsisThe purpose of this book is to examine and analyze Americanization, De-Americanization, and racialized ethnic groups in America and consider the questions: who is an American? And what constitutes American identity and culture?, This book examines and analyzes Americanization, De-Americanization, and racialized ethnic groups in America. It shows that America's cultural homogeneity, which is based on "whiteness," has important consequences for racialized ethnic groups in America. The question, then, of who is an American becomes overriding. Although racialized ethnic groups remain unassimilated into the dominant culture, the recognition and celebration of the non-dominant cultures are important for multiculturalism. However, non-dominant cultures are tied to cultural otherness. Cultural otherness is looked upon as Un-Americanness. For this reason, there is a need to move beyond multiculturalism. "Postmulticulturalism," then, would be the new possibility., The purpose of this book is to examine and analyze Americanization, De-Americanization, and racialized ethnic groups in America and consider the questions: who is an American? And what constitutes American identity and culture?
