	Ronald Takaki Speaker Profile at The Lavin Agency
		Ronald Takaki: Acclaimed author of Strangers from a Different Shore and A Different Mirror and Professor of Ethnic Studies at UC Berkeley
		Ronald Takaki has been a lightning rod for the study of America's racial and ethnic diversity.
		His perspective does not lead to what Schlesinger denounces as "the disuniting of America." Rather Takaki's "re-visioning" of the past is essential for the uniting of Americans with each other as well as the rest of the world.

	Washingtonpost.com: Live Online
		Takaki is the grandson of Japanese plantation laborers in Hawaii.
		Ronald Takaki: The most common is that we don't look "American," and don't have names that are "American." But it is not the fault of these Americans who have these misperceptions.
		Ronald Takaki: I think we need to make a distinction between identity and "loyalty." Many immigrants, including Italians, wished to retain an identity with their homeland, this is cultural.

	A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America: Current Amazon U.S.A. One-Edition Data
		I was introduced to Takaki as an undergrad in Louisiana, reintroduced as a gaduate in New York, and again as a Graduate Assistant in Ohio.
		Takaki's attempt to portray a multicultural American history is weak and he accomplishes the opposite.
		It is obvious that Takaki has personal issues against white people and is a flaming racist.He glorifies the bad behavior of certain minorities and embellishes, in a bad light, the identical bad behavior of certain whites.This book is a complete waste of time for those interested in a fair account of history.

	Iron Cages : Race and Culture in 19th-Century America (Ronald Takaki)
		In a forward-looking new epilogue, Takaki argues that the social health of the United States largely rests on the ability of Americans of all races and cultures to build on an established and positive legacy of cross-cultural cooperation in the coming 21st century.
		Dr. Takaki is not only intellectually incandescent, but is a profoundly humane and compassionate man. As a high school social studies teacher, I have included Dr. Takaki's premises and conclusions in every class I teach and never fail to see the same sort of epiphanies in my students that I, myself, experienced.
		Dr. Takaki makes entirely comprehensible the paradigm of racism, sexism and elitism which has so long prevailed in our society; and his observations are as pertinent and contemporary today as they were a quarter of a century ago.

	Multicultural Diversity in America From Author Ronald Takaki's Perspective - Associated Content
		Throughout history it seems that has thrived on the theory of âmay the strongest man win.' Accounts of injustice were liberally given throughout the book, and shocking in their poignancy.
		The promises made to the American Indians from the white man that were broken over and over again are noted in great detail, and the climax of Wounded Knee, as was discussed in the book and in our class discussions just leaves you feeling outraged, and then numb.
		As Takaki goes along, we see that these injustices were not only secluded to the American Indians but were applied to any and all ethnicities that existed outside of the white man's world.
