Aldine Publishing Company, 1970. The essays in this book originally appeared in Trans-action Magazine 8vo size green clothbound hardcover with dust jacket; 189 pages From jacket: "This book represents lively and contemporary sociological analysis of the paradoxical position of partial minority groups in contemporary American society. By their submergence below the threshold of public consciousness of "minority problems" these groups escape some of the pervasive indignities visited upon blacks, but precisely because of this their difficulties arouse little public indignation. The articles in this book show, the problems of these minorities and the problems they present for the majority of American society."
