142  Access to American Cultural Heritages. Buckland. Spring 1997.

Assignment 2: Cultural Groups in the USA. Due Sept 16 or ASAP.

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, the sooner the better, but give priority to Assignment 1. Both books are also likely to be available at other libraries off campus. Supply a note of which book you read and any comments on its suitability for this purpose, about half a page or a page.
