Ethnic Options: Choosing Identities in America
A sociological study of how later-generation European Americans selectively adopt and express ethnic identities in modern society.
About This Book
Ethnic Options examines the ways individuals of European ancestry in the United States construct and negotiate their ethnic identities.
The book draws on interviews and survey data to show how ethnicity can be both symbolic and optional for later-generation Americans.
It highlights differences in how various groups maintain or downplay their heritage in everyday life.
The study situates these choices within broader social and historical contexts of assimilation and multiculturalism.
