"As in previous editions, the central theme of this work concerns the negotiations between the law and the many subcultures that make up US society. The authors present the material thematically. They address issues of race and ethnicity by looking at Native Americans and land issues, issues of Native Hawaiian and Puerto Rican sovereignty, the struggle for African American civil rights, and Latino immigration. Religion is discussed as it relates to legal struggles of the Mormons and the Amish to define their own ways of life, the culture wars in American Schools, and Rastafarian and Native American ritual use of illicit drugs. Addressing gender, two chapters discuss women's rights and gay marriage. A final section on community and citizenship discusses anti-discrimination campaigns by people with disabilities and homeless people, Japanese internment, and the antagonistic relationship between cultural pluralism and the war on terror." -- Reference & Research Book News, 'As in previous editions, the central theme of this work concerns the negotiations between the law and the many subcultures that make up US society.

Synopsis
Explores the tension between individual rights and cultural autonomy promised in American law, on the one hand, and the country's need to build unity and national identity through institutions and by promoting certain values., This new edition of Norgren and Nanda's classic updates their examination of the intersection of American cultural pluralism and law. They document and analyze legal challenges to the existing social order raised by many cultural groups, among them, Native Americans and Native Hawaiians, homeless persons, immigrants, disabled persons, and Rastafarians. In addition, they examine such current controversies as the culture wars in American schools and the impact of post-9/11 security measures on Arab and Muslim individuals and communities. The book also discusses more traditional challenges to the American legal system by women, homosexuals, African Americans, Latinos, Japanese Americans, and the Mormons and the Amish. The new chapters and updated analyses in this Third Edition reflect recent, relevant court cases dealing with culture, race, gender, religion, and personal status. Drawing on court materials, state and federal legislation, and legal ethnographies, the text analyzes the ongoing tension between, on the one hand, the need of different groups for cultural autonomy and equal rights, and on the other, the necessity of national unity and security. The text integrates the authors' commentary with case descriptions set in historical, cultural, political, and economic context. While the authors' thesis is that law is an instrument of social policy that has generally furthered an assimilationist agenda in American society, they also point out how in different periods, under different circumstances, and with regard to different groups, law has also some opportunity for cultural autonomy.
