The clothes we wear tell stories about us and are often imbued with
cultural meanings specific to our ethnic heritage. This concise
A-to-Z encyclopedia explores 150 different and distinct items of
ethnic dress, their history, and their cultural significance within
the United States. The clothing artifacts documented here have been
or are now regularly worn by Americans as everyday clothing,
fashion, ethnic or religious identifiers, or style statements. They
embody the cultural history of the United States and its peoples,
from Native Americans, white Anglo colonists, and forcibly
relocated black slaves to the influx of immigrants from around the
world. Entries consider how dress items may serve as symbolic
linkages to home country and family or worn as visible forms of
opposition to dominant cultural norms. Taken together, they offer
insight into the ethnic-based core ideologies, myths, and cultural
codes that have played a role in the formation and continued story
of the United States."
