Description:
Us and Them illuminates the dark corners of our nation's past and traces our ongoing efforts to live up to the American ideals of equality and justice. Fourteen case studies -- enhanced by the use of original documents, historical photos, commissioned paintings, and dramatic narrative -- bring readers a firsthand account of the history and psychology of intolerance. We read about Mary Oyer, executed for her Quaker faith in Boston in 1660. We learn how the Mormons were expelled from Missouri in 1838. The attack on Chinese miners in Wyoming in 1885, the battle of Wounded Knee in 1890, and the Crown Heights riot in 1991 are among the events presented in clear, evocative Language that brings to life history that is often forgotten or slighted.
