Milwaukee ethnic studies conducted by Urban Anthropology Inc.
Many of these studies have resulted in documentaries (see Film link). Dr. Jill Florence Lackey is currently working on a book that will present the findings from all these studies, which will be out in 2012. The studies are based on over a decade of ethnographic observation, over 500 interviews, and archival research.
