Gary Gerstle, the James G. Stahlman Professor of American History, has done extensive research about President George W. Bush’s vision for a multicultural world and the steep challenges it faced during his administration. Gerstle’s essay, “Minorities, Multiculturalism and the Presidency of George W. Bush,” appears in a new book that is a first historical assessment of the Bush 43 presidency. The Presidency of George W. Bush, edited by Julian E. Zelizer, has been published by Princeton University Press.
