Racial Fault Lines: The Historical Origins of White Supremacy in California Hardcover - 1994

by Tomas Almaguer


From the publisher

Includes bibliographical references (p. 259-274) and index.

First line

In his comparative study White Supremacy, historian George Fredrickson astutely observes that "race relations are not so much a fixed pattern as a changing set of relationships that can only be understood with a broader historical context that is itself constantly evolving and thus altering the terms under which whites and nonwhites interact."

From the jacket flap

"An excellent summary and interpretation of race relations in nineteenth-century California. Empirically rich and theoretically sophisticated, it is the last and best word on the historical origins of the racial hierarchy that contemporary multiculturalists are struggling to overcome."--George Fredrickson, Stanford University

"Sometime soon in the 21st century, all of California's peoples will belong to minorities, and Almaguer's pathbreaking comparative history is indispensable for understanding how and why this society became so racially diverse. His study expands the borders of multicultural scholarship."--Ronald Takaki, University of California, Berkeley
