A different mirror for young people / Stefoff, Rebecca

Adapted for young readers, a presentation of American history from a multi-cultural perspective, focusing on a broader and comparative approach to enhance the possibility of understanding and appreciating America's racial and cultural diversity.

Presents stories from America's multicultural past which have been historically overlooked--from the first contact of Europeans with Native Americans to contemporary stories of young Mexican students who may or may not be illegal immigrants. Argues that America has always been multicultural even though that heritage has often been kept in the dark.
