Americans face two choices: understand why these individuals think as they do or face a future that continues to define us by what divides us rather than by what unites us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>America Beyond Black and White: How Immigrants and Fusions Are Helping Us Overcome the Racial Divide University of Michigan Press 2007 296 oages 6 x 9. 296 pgs. 1 table Cloth: 978-0-472-11609-6 Paper: 978-0-472-03320-1 Ebook Formats: 978-0-472-02175-8 Ronald Fernandez, Professor of Sociology Criminal Justice Department Central Connecticut State University For the first time in U.S. [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,11,8,17,394,20],"tags":[294,293,295],"class_list":["post-1841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-asia","category-books","category-media-archive","category-monographs","category-socialscience","category-usa","tag-immigration","tag-ronald-fernandez","tag-university-of-michigan-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1841\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mixedracestudies.org\/wp\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
