Description
"In The Peoples of Las Vegas, seventeen local scholars from several disciplines - most of them members of the groups they write about - profile thirteen of the ethnic groups that make up Las Vegas's population. They discuss the motivations and processes of their group's migration to Las Vegas, its economic pursuits, its institutions and other means of preserving traditional culture, its involvement with the broader community and its ties with the homeland: as well as national and international demographic trends affecting immigration into southern Nevada. Here is a look into the vibrant ethnic life that lies just beneath the glittering surface of one of America's most unusual cities."--Jacket.
