"Lee Baker has pulled together and provided an extremely useful
conceptual frame for some of the best social analysis on current
trends in the cultural practices of identity and identification in
US society. This collection is a ‘must read’ for anyone
interested in demystifying identity politics and understanding the
complexities, pluralities, and common ground of cultural
citizenship in the USA as it is changing in the new millennium."
Faye V. Harrison, University of Tennessee

"American higher education’s longstanding myths about
cultural assimilation and equal access for all have given way to a
new scholarly literature, which rigorously critiques the structures
of identity, inequality, and power. In this timely and provocative
reader, brilliant anthropologist Lee Baker has selected an
outstanding collection of essays about the complex politics of
cultural diversity. Life in America provides an insightful
exploration into the major contemporary debates and issues that
define studies of race, gender, sexuality, and class in American
society." Manning Marable, Columbia University
"Life in America is a user’s guide to everyday life and all its contradictory complexity, an indispensable inventory of practices and patterns in US society that produce both creative connections and corrosive conflicts, stimulating similarities and disturbing differences." George Lipsitz, University of California, San Diego
