| Abstract |
"This book analyzes how the use of violence has been and today remains an effective identity strategy by which all ethno-racial groups gain status-and thus acceptance into the American mainstream. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between multiethnic grievances and ethno-racial conflicts in America"- Provided by publisher. |
