Robert Janes summarizes and updates the account of the nature and the role of ethnic groups in American history. Richard Scammoip,, using one of the important indicators of ethnicity, namely voting patterns, points to both persistence and change in ethnicity in American life. rurning to the social paychological side, Otto von Mering underscores the positive function of ethnicity in identity formation, as well as the distortions and stereotypes which readily emerge in iater-group relations. Finally, Richard Kolm advances some propositions concerning the meaning of ethnicity, which pose two general types of questions: (1) what is the general nature of ethnicity in the United States, particularly with regard to values? (2) Is cultural diversity or cultural pluralism in American society feasible and viable? (Author/JM) EVOLVING PATTERNS OF ETHNICITY IN AMERICAN LIFERead More
