{"product_id":"ethnicity-celeste-ray-9780807858233","title":"Ethnicity","description":"Transcending familiar categories of \"black\" and \"white,\" this volume of \u003ci\u003eThe New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture\u003c\/i\u003e complicates and enriches our understanding of \"southernness\" by identifying the array of cultures that combined to shape the South. This exploration of southern ethnicities examines the ways people perform and maintain cultural identities through folklore, religious faith, dress, music, speech, cooking, and transgenerational tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessibly written and informed by the most recent research that recovers the ethnic diversity of the early South and documents the more recent arrival of new cultural groups, this volume greatly expands upon the modest Ethnic Life section of the original \u003ci\u003eEncyclopedia\u003c\/i\u003e. Contributors describe 88 ethnic groups that have lived in the South from the Mississippian Period (1000-1600) to the present. They include 34 American Indian groups, as well as the many communities with European, African, and Asian cultural ties that came to the region after 1600. Southerners from all backgrounds are likely to find themselves represented here. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Celeste Ray\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807858234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807858233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.34w x 0.75d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2007 pg. 94","brand":"Celeste Ray","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994912260351,"sku":"9780807858233","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6cdb1ec0-589c-4547-94cb-f00251b84b18.jpg?v=1683332907","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ethnicity-celeste-ray-9780807858233","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
