Multiculturalism and Diversity in the United States: A Political and Sociological Reader is an anthology designed to help students tackle leading themes in American multiculturalism within the modern political climate.

The articles in Unit I are introductory theoretical readings and demographic studies, which present arguments for and against multiculturalism, providing students with a foundation in both ways of thinking about an increasingly complex issue. Unit II focuses on issues related to gender, masculinity, homophobia, patriarchy, and sexism. In Unit III, students read articles that address race and racism, especially within the context of a post-Trump administration. The readings trace the malignant patterns of racism and disenfranchisement of people of color in America, as well as examining related topics such as White privilege and affirmative action. Section IV addresses how class and economic status affect inequality. In Section V, students read articles about additional types of multiculturalism, including disability, the marginalization of Native Americans and Muslim Americans, and the political hysteria over immigration and undocumented immigrants in the U.S.
