520    A dramatic new retelling of our nation's past. Beginning 
       with the colonization of the New World, it recounts the 
       history of America in the voice of the non-Anglo peoples 
       of the United States--Native Americans, African Americans,
       Jews, Irish Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and 
       others--groups who helped create this country's rich 
       mosaic culture. Now, Ronald Takaki has revised his 
       landmark work and made it even more relevant and 
       important. Among the new additions to the book are: the 
       role of black soldiers in preserving the Union; the 
       history of Chinese Americans from 1900-1941; an 
       investigation into the hot-button issue of "illegal" 
       immigrants from Mexico; and a look at the sudden 
       visibility of Muslim refugees from Afghanistan. This new 
       edition grapples with the raw truth of American history 
       and examines the ultimate question of what it means to be 
       an American.--From publisher description.
