SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book studies five ethnic communities--South Asian Americans, African Americans, Japanese Americans, Mexican Americans, and Samoan Americans--to understand how their members feel about being studied by researchers. Focusing on trust-building as a necessary process in doing good community research, this book offers the reader culturally sensitive methods to approach interaction and interviewing members of each of these unique, multifaceted ethnic communities.
