5 The logic behind this decision is given by Hraba on p. 201, to wit, “The problem is that Americans from Europe are so diverse, and their experiences in this country have been so varied, that it is impossible to write a chapter or two on the so-called white ethnic groups. In our opinion, Americans from Europe deserve an entire book, if only for their numbers and diversity.”

13 The phrase is borrowed from Clifford Geertz who applied it to attempts to analyze a culture, but since ethnicity involves at least two cultures the phrase is even more applicable to ethnic studies.
