Ethnic groups have always been an important part of American society. As the variety of ethnic groups in the United States flourishes, the unique dimension that ethnic life adds to American culture becomes increasingly important. This volume explores how ethnic groups creatively adapt and modify the folklore in response to living in a complex and changing pluralistic society.
