It was published by Heinle and Heinle in 1995. It is Advanced level but the ideas can be adapted for a more intermediate level. I like the way it is organized in different sections (American Dreaming: The Pursuit of Happiness; Melting Pot or Patchwork Quit; Defining Gender, etc.) with readings by well-known writers and thinkers. There are exercises at the end of each chapter and sometimes suggestions for films to see. Maria E.
