Chapter 42:
The American People Face a New Century
- Contrast the economic, social, and cultural
life of a typical family of the 1970s with a similar family
of the 1990s.
- Select one of the less-well-known new
immigrant groups, e.g., Asian Indians or West Indians. Look at their
reasons for immigration, their patterns of occupation and settlement, and
the opportunities and obstacles they have experienced.
- Examine the new patterns of population
movement, urbanization, and suburbanization as represented in the 2000 census.
Consider particularly the population explosion in states like California,
Texas, and Florida, and the corresponding growth in political strength of
groups like Hispanics and the elderly.
- Select one novel and one painting as exemplary
of the new forces in postwar American art. Perhaps consider why a once-neglected
work like Hurstons Their Eyes Were Watching God has
been re-discovered and celebrated in the 1990s.
