Overview
Hi Rita91, considering that you've helped me do most of my reading reviews for History 10 this semester I was thinking we could work closely together to do this final essay for the same class. The reading reviews of chapters from A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America a book by Ronald Takaki, will help us answer this prompt together. I'll send all of the old assignments to help and considering that I did the reading I narrowed down exactly which chapters to talk about in the prompt. so wait for those directions in the next few hours. below I've attached the professor's insider-outsider perspective. Confirm below that you understand my specific directions after recalling working with me before.
Essay: Be sure to address the questions in the prompt directly in your introduction paragraph. Your essay should set forth a clear argument (thesis) and draw upon evidence from both lectures and the readings. A good essay will reference primary sources to support your argument.

When we began our course, I argued that the American ethnic/racial past is best understood within a framework of the “insider/outsider dilemma.” What exactly did I mean and how did HIST 10 ultimately bear this out? In your essay, fully explore one major ethnic/racial development from each of the following periods (1607 – 1789, 1790 – 1900, 1900 – 1980) to demonstrate the usefulness of the insider/outsider dilemma in understanding America’s ethnic/racial past. Your response should touch on the experiences of at least three ethnic/racial groups.
