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 Analysis-A Course of Study, Jane C.
