142  Access to American Cultural Heritages. Buckland. Spring 2000.

Assignment 3: Cultural Groups in the USA. Due Sept 15 latest.

In order that we can concentrate on the topic of the course - access to U.S. cultural heritages - we need to be able to assume that everyone has a general familiarity with the principal different cultural groups in the U.S.A. and their historical development. Rather than devote class time to this, all students are asked to read one of the following books, the sooner the better. Both books are also likely to be available at other libraries off campus and available second-hand. Supply a note of which book you read and any comments on its suitability for this purpose, about half a page or a page.
