Ethnic Families in America : Patterns and Variations
Description
Collection of essays on the sociology of the family in the United States, with a particular reliance upon the cultural diversity of ethnic immigrant groups. The 1976 edition of the text - the edition available in most libraries - contains an essay entitled "The Franco American Working Class Family," by Laurence French. From Pearson Higher Education: "Reflecting the social and political dynamics in the United States, this edited volume offers an inclusive look at multicultural diversity in the U.S. with extensive coverage of the family life styles, traditions and values of seventeen American ethnic groups. Providing unique and personal insights, each chapter is written by a contributing author representing a particular ethnic group and is structured in a similar pattern - covering the historical background, key ethnic cultural components, traditional and current ethnic family characteristics, and changes and adaptations to the ethnic family and culture."
