Additional American Ethnic Groups!Our country has a long multi-ethnic history, and new groups are still forming, as you can see by groups in the book such as the Black Muslims. The book includes almost every immigrant group with more than 100,000 descendents on the 1990 census ancestry survey. The 22 Native groups include the ten largest Indian tribes, but there are hundreds more Indian governments recognized by the United States, state-recognized tribes, and many tribes reforming to seek recognition. The book includes a few ethno-religious groups with distinctive foods, such as the Moravians, Amish, and Black Muslims. The book also includes some small ethnic groups, if only to show that small ethnic groups also survive, and sometimes grow rapidly. In general, ethnic groups are made up of people who share a common national origin, language, religion, or culture, or sometimes all four. Ethnic groups change with each generation, and our concept of ethnicity also changes. Some groups that aren't in the book have many distinctive recipes, and others may not have a lot of published recipes at all. If you have a recipe or two used in your family to express membership in an ethnic group not in the book, please email: Mark@ethnicook.com. You can post recipes and group information directly for other readers using the "Ethnic Recipes Forum" link at left. | |||||||||||||||||||
