Ethnic Options: Choosing Identities in America by Mary C. Waters

Interesting premise, a little repetitive until the last 5 pages when Waters drops the truth bombs regarding race vs. ethnicity that she's been holding on to, which consequently made me re-think everything she'd said in the previous 100 pages. Good information, but the study could definitely use an update
