15213. CRITIQUE OF THREE BOOKS OF AFRICAN-AMERICAN ETHNICITY. According to Stephen Steinberg in The Ethnic Myth, ethnicity should be studied from an historical-structural perspective rather than a cultural perspective. America Black and White (Thernstrom and Thernstrom), Black Movements in America (Robinson) and Stylin' (Shane and White) are critiqued in terms of whether or not they meet the criteria established by Steinberg. 7 pages, 14 footnotes, 4 bibliographic references.
