Naomi Paik brings this “brilliant revisionist history” (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e) into the 21st century. The new material examines growing inequality in the U.S., the intensifying War on Terror that further targets and marginalizes immigrants, and, in the uplifting spirit of the original book, the emergence of social movements including land and water protections and migrant justice movements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on Takaki's vast array of primary sources, and staying true to his own words whenever possible, \u003ci\u003eA Different Mirror for Young People\u003c\/i\u003e brings ethnic history alive through the words of people, including teenagers, who recorded their experiences in letters, diaries, and poems. Like Howard Zinn's \u003ci\u003eA People's History\u003c\/i\u003e, another title in the For Young People series, Takaki's \u003ci\u003eA Different Mirror\u003c\/i\u003e offers a rich and rewarding \"people's view\" perspective on the American story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The 'mirror' that Ronald Takaki holds up to the United States reflects a multicultural history of oppression and exploitation, but also struggle, solidarity, and community. In the most profound sense, this is a people's history of our country. Takaki shows what has torn us apart, yet what knits us together.\"\u003cb\u003e —Bill Bigelow, curriculum editor, \u003ci\u003eRethinking Schools\u003c\/i\u003e, and co-director, Zinn Education Project\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRONALD TAKAKI\u003c\/b\u003e (1939-2009) is recognized as one of the foremost historians of American ethnic and race studies.
