In The Enigma of Ethnicity Wilbur Zelinsky draws upon more than half a century of exploring the cultural and social geography of an everchanging North America to become both biographer and critic of the recent concept of ethnicity. In this ambitious and encyclopedic work, he examines ethnicity's denition, evolution, signicance, implications, and entanglements with other phenomena as well as the mysteries of ethnic identity and performance. Zelinsky begins by examining the ways in which ethnic groups and ethnicity have been dened; his own denitions then become the basis for the rest of his study. He next focuses on the concepts of heterolocalismthe possibility that an ethnic community can exist without being physically mergedand personal identitythe relatively recent idea that one can concoct one's own identity. In his nal chapter, which is also his most provocative, he concentrates on the multifaceted phenomenon of multiculturalism and its relationship to ethnicity. Throughout he includes a close look at African Americans, Hispanics, and Jews as well as such lessstudied groups as suburbanized Japanese, Cubans in Washington, Koreans, Lithuanian immigrants in Chicago, Estonians in New Jersey, Danish Americans in Seattle, and Finns. Reasonable, nonpolemical, and straightforward, Zelinsky's text is invaluable for readers wanting an indepth overview of the literature on ethnicity in the United States as well as a wellthoughtout understanding of the meanings and dynamics of ethnic groups, ethnicity, and multiculturalism.
