The varieties of ethnic experience: kinship, class and gender among California Italian-Americans
Cornell University Press • Ithaca, New York • Published In 1984 • Pages: 262

Abstract
This book uses a different approach to the study of ethnicity than that used by most social scientists. Di Leonardo assumes ethnic variety and attempts to understand it (p. 11). This work can be read at a number of different levels. Not only does it represent an anthropological case study, but it may be read for its historical and theoretical context as well. Although the focus of the study is on the Italian Americans of the San Francisco Bay area, it also has implications for an understanding of family, economy, culture and gender in American life in general, and of their complex links to the larger global economy (p. 13).
