Editorial Reviews

"Important and entirely admirable....[Gordon's] review of theories of Anglo-conformity, the melting pot, and cultural pluralism is the best I have ever seen. Specialists in intergroup relations will find Gordon's book a most useful addition to their personal bookshelves and an indispensable newcomer to their pedagogical repertoire."—American Sociological Review

"Most informative text on the subject of socialization process."—Carl E. Jackson, California State University, Fullerton

"Excellent."—M. Mc Cauley, Dyersbury State, Indiana
