American Ethnic Practices in the Early Twenty-first Century: The
Milwaukee Study is a work based on a twelve-year research project
conducted in the greater Milwaukee area by Urban Anthropology Inc.
The qualitative study examined the current strength of ethnicity
and the contributions that ethnic practices have made to the wider
society. Since Barth (1970), social scientists-especially
sociocultural anthropologists-have moved toward deconstructing
ethnicity by concentrating on the malleability of ethnic identity.
This work takes a new approach by focusing on ethnic practices. The
most prominent findings in The Milwaukee Study were the ways that
community-building activities of ethnic groups contributed to the
wider society; and how this, in turn, can help restore a needed
balance between individualism and collectivism in the United
States. Since the first edition of Habits of the Heart (Bellah et
al, 1985), public discourse about ways to restore this balance has
been ubiquitous. Most discussions have focused only on
strengthening families, faith communities, or neighborhoods, and
have ignored the activity and potential of ethnic groups, even
though it was during this span of time that interest in
multiculturalism in education and politics reached its peak.
