Strangers to These Shores: Race and Ethnic Relations in the United States examines the story of race and ethnic relations, past and present. Author Vincent Parrillo explains how racial and ethnic groups came to be, how they are changing, and how they will continue to change. Each chapter begins with a sociohistorical perspective on a specific segment of the U.S. population. Parrillo closes each chapter with a sociological analysis of the group's experiences using the functionalist, conflict and interactionist perspectives.

The 12th Edition offers new Students Speak boxes that reveal how other student readers reacted to parts of the text, offering an interesting perspective and prompting you to consider what you think about particular topics.
