- 摘要: "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.

Beneath the glitzy surface of the resorts and the seemingly cookie-cutter suburban sprawl of Las Vegas lies a vibrant and diverse ethnic life. People of varied origins make up the population of nearly two million and yet, until now, little mention of the city has been made in studies and discussion of ethnicity or immigration. The Peoples of Las Vegas: One City, Many Faces fills this void by presenting the work of seventeen scholars of history, political science, sociology, anthropology, law, urban studies, cultural studies, literature, social work, and ethnic studies to provide profiles of thirteen of the city’s many ethnic groups. The book’s introduction and opening chapters explore the historical and demographic context of these groups, as well as analyze the economic and social conditions that make Las Vegas so attractive to recent immigrants. Each group is the subject of the subsequent chapters, outlining migration motivations and processes, economic pursuits, cultural institutions and means of transmitting culture, involvement in the broader community, ties to homelands, and recent demographic trends.
