"America in a Different Mirror: Re-Visioning Our Nation's Past."
Dr. Takaki,author of this year's Reading Together book, A Larger Memory: a History of Our Diversity, With Voices, states that his talk “will challenge the master narrative of American history -- the familiar but mistaken story that our nation was settled by European immigrants and that Americans are white or European in ancestry. My aim is not so much to revise but to reveal history. My hope is to offer a more inclusive definition and accurate definition of who is an American.”
