Introduction: The Americanization and De-Americanization of Racialized Ethnic Groups Contextual Reflection and Historical Perspective An American Identity in Retrospect 'Whiteness' as the Definitive Conceptualization of an American Identity The Quandary of Multiculturalism in America Racialized Ethnic Groups as a Threat to America's National Identity Rethinking and Reframing Multiculturalism Conclusion

'This is an interesting book on who is perceived to be an American. Pinder's systematic analysis and discussion of the racialization of all the hyphenated groups (i.e. Chinese-American, Native Americans, and African-Americans, etc.) is exciting. This book is a welcome and erudite contribution to the African studies field, political science, and women's studies, especially for classes on race and gender.' Thelma Pinto, Codirector of Africana Studies, Hobart & William Smith Colleges, USA, and Past President of the African Literature Association
