symbolic ethnicity  

Definición

  • Herbert J. Gans introduced the concept of symbolic ethnicity in 1979 in a study of the assimilation and acculturation of third-generation and later descendants of European immigrants to the United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It may or may not be applicable in the study of those whose forebears immigrated after World War II or those African Americans, Native Americans, and Mexican Americans whose ancestors arrived before the United States was established.
