Culture and Difference: Critical Perspectives on the Bicultural Experience in the United States
The yearning to remember who we are is not easily detected in the qualitative dimensions of focus groups and ethnographic research methods; nor is it easily measured in standard quantified scientific inquiry.

Fads and phenomena like disco, running, and the rise of the women’s movement are also explained and, in some cases, followed up through modern times.
