Title: Completely worthless
Product review: Takaki's book is a wonderful example of how history should not be written. Takaki's attempt to portray a multicultural American history is weak and he accomplishes the opposite. He consistently describes every ethnic minority that has helped create America as nothing more than a victim of white aggression. Indeed the multicultural history of America is more complex than the simplified story of good and evil that Takaki tells. If one wishes to get a glimpse of realistic multicultural history I recommend forgetting about Takaki and instead reading Gary B. Nash's brilliant essay The Hidden History of Mestizo America.
