Unlike many works since Barth (1970) that have moved toward deconstructing ethnicity, this book takes a new approach by focusing on ethnic practices and their contributions to the wider society. It is a must read for those engaged in academic debates about the role of ethnicity in America today.> UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=611925 ER -
