Because of their ethnic heritage and ideological values, Americans tend to believe that the United States is more beset by ethnic conflict than is true of other nations. But ethnic politics in America is part of a global phenomenon. The United States is clearly not the only country with ethnic issues. What sets America apart is its ethnic diversity. It is a nation of minorities. Within its boundaries can be found nearly every major racial, religious, national, and language group on the planet. Along with material plenty and economic success, ethnic pluralism is one of the organizing principles of American history and remains today a dominant theme in the way most Americans interpret their world.

Ethnic Dimensions in American History

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

In 1991, the centrifugal forces of ethnic nationalism destroyed the Soviet Union. Religious and ethnic issues will be the defining principles of political life in East Europe, Transcaucasia, and Central Asia for the next decade. Yet when most Americans and Europeans read, for instance, of the Ossetians and Ingush, they have no idea who these peoples are or why they are fighting. This volume will provide a ready reference for students, researchers, and librarians who are trying to sort out the political and social struggles in that part of the world. Focusing on ethnolinguistic groups rather than peoples with purely religious orientations, Olson provides entries on over 450 ethnic groups, with appropriate cross-references. Each entry concludes with references, and the volume includes a selected bibliography of English-language titles. The volume also includes a chronology, several appendixes providing statistical information, and an appendix essay on Islam in Russia and the Soviet Union.

An elusive figure until the 1840s, the war correspondent is a comparatively new phenomenon. Prior to the Mexican War and the invention of the telegraph, military commanders reported their own victories. Correspondents rarely used bylines prior to the 20th century. The first of its kind, this book fills a gap in the history of war journalism as well as military history, literature, imperialism, and the Victorian era. Entries cover reporters, photographers, and artists who represented a newspaper, magazine, radio, or television station, or another news source as well as significant events and terms relating to war reporting from 1846 to the recent Gulf War and Yugoslavian conflict.
To this day, the identity of the world's first war photographer remains a mystery. The first war correspondent―probably a male from New Orleans―also remains an elusive figure. The first identifiable war correspondents were not produced until the Mexican War. The larger history of the war correspondent has not been thoroughly explored. This volume attempts to fill that gap, providing coverage from 1846 to the present.

Today, Americans look back nostalgically at the 1950s, an era when television and rock and roll revolutionized popular culture, and Vietnam, race riots, drug abuse, and protest movements were still in the future. With homes in the suburbs, new automobiles, and the latest electrical gadgets, many Americans believed they were the most prosperous people on earth. Yet the era was tainted by the fear of thermonuclear war with the Soviet Union, deepening racial tensions, and discontent with rigid roles for women and the demands of corporate conformity. A sense of rebellion had begun to brew behind the facade. It manifested itself in rock and roll, the budding civil rights movement, and the appearance of a youth culture, eventually exploding in the 1960s.
Providing a comprehensive overview, this book includes entries on the prominent people, major events, issues, scandals, ideas, popular culture, and court cases of the decade that gave rise to the tensions of the 1960s.
