What is Encounters with American Ethnic Cultures about?

Encounters with American Ethnic Cultures represents a cultural approach to understanding ethnic diversity in the Philadelphia metropolitan area. Thirteen chapters, each using an ethnographic field methodology, explore such ethnic experience as the "invisible" (WASPS and African-Americans); "self-chosen" (Welsh-American, Irish-American, and Ukrainian-American); "gender-related" (the Lubovitcher); "religious" (Jewish, Native American, Greek-American, and Puerto Rican); and "dislocated" (Cambodians and the homeless). Ethnographic fieldwork focuses an insider's view on the meaning of ethnic experience in the lives of participants in the research. This volume examines the role and function of various ethnic endeavors in the preservation and maintenance of ethnic identity by contemporary Americans. This five part volume includes: Introduction: Ethnic Culture AnalysisA Course of Study, Jane C. Goodale and Philip L. Kilbride Methodology, Elizabeth R. Ameisen and Carolyn G. Friedman Part I. Black and WASP in American Cultural Experience: The Invisible Ones Exclusivity in an Ethnic Elite: Racial Prejudice as Boundary Maintenance, Elizabeth R.
