Whether African Americans, Muslim or Christian Arabs, Indians, mestizos, Chinese, Jews, Poles, Catholics, Protestants, or various whites of European descent, one thing that united these Americans was a drive to keep their dead apart. At times, they did so for internal preference. At others, it was a function of external prejudice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Invisible and institutional borders built around and into ethnic cemeteries also tell a powerful story of the ways in which Americans have negotiated race, culture, class, national origin, and religious difference in the United States during its formative centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52600364368152,"sku":"9781496827890","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/till-death-do-us-part-american-ethnic-cemeteries-as-borders-uncrossed-paperback-softback-9781496827890","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
