Strangers to These Shores examines the story of race and ethnic relations, past and present. The text explains how racial and ethnic groups came to be, how they are changing, and how they will continue to change. Author Vincent Parrillo begins each chapter with a sociohistorical perspective on a specific segment of the US population. He closes each chapter with a sociological analysis of the group's experiences using the functionalist, conflict and interactionist perspectives.

The 13th Edition explores the latest issues in our world today, including the homeland influence on Ukrainian Americans, the impact of COVID-19 on minorities and women, and interplay between religious beliefs and views on abortion.
