Young \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThroughout its history, Mississippi has seen a small, steady stream of immigrants, and those identities--sometimes submerged, sometimes hidden--have helped shape the state in important ways. Amid renewed interest in identity, the Mississippi Humanities Council has commissioned a companion volume to its earlier book that studied ethnicity in the state from the period 1500-1900. This new book, \u003ci\u003eEthnic Heritage in Mississippi: The Twentieth Century\u003c\/i\u003e, offers stories of immigrants overcoming obstacles, immigrants newly arrived, and long-settled groups witnessing a revitalized claim to membership. The book examines twentieth-century immigration trends, explores the reemergence of ethnic identity, and undertakes case studies of current ethnic groups. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Some of the groups featured in the volume include Chinese, Latino, Lebanese, Jewish, Filipino, South Asian, and Vietnamese communities. The book also examines Biloxi as a city that has long attracted a diverse population and takes a look at the growth in identity affiliation among people of European descent. The book is funded in part by a \"We the People\" grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Shana Walton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1496843428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496843425\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.26lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.87d","brand":"Shana Walton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44071525875967,"sku":"9781496843425","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3ed9ad92-f83e-492b-af5f-9764d212963e.jpg?v=1685436620","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ethnic-heritage-in-mississippi-shana-walton-9781496843425","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
