Summary
Speaking out on a broad variety of issues--including assimilation, racial conflicts between minorities, the gay rights movement, and stereotyping--this collection of essays by non-Anglo writers takes readers far beyond the issues of black vs. white and introduces the authentic voices of Rainbow America in all their diverse, angry, proud, celebratory glory.
