The Atlas of Ethnic Diversity in Wisconsin Kazimierz J. Zaniewski and Carol J. Rosen "A superb depiction of a state whose very character is pluralistic."—Victor Greene, author of American Immigrant Leaders, 1800–1910 The Atlas of Ethnic Diversity in Wisconsin is a clear and colorful reference to the spatial distribution and socioeconomic characteristics of the state's many ethnic groups. More than sixty groups, from African Americans and Armenians to Vietnamese and Welsh, are depicted in full-color maps and in tables and graphs derived from 1990 U.S. Census data. Authors Kazimierz J. Zaniewski and Carol J. Rosen explain how the data was compiled and how best to interpret it. In introductions to each section, they provide historical and geographical explanations for the ways that various ethnic groups are distributed across Wisconsin. In addition, the Atlas includes an extensive bibliography and appendices of helpful maps and comparative data. "Drawing on the authoritative 1990 U.S. Census and offering succinct profiles of about sixty of Wisconsin's ethnic groups, this work will endure as an outstanding reference. With understandable color maps clearly showing group locations and a variety of group statistics at the state and county level, the Atlas gives the reader Wisconsin's varied social makeup and also compares it to the rest of the nation. Sophisticated and lucid, the Atlas is a guide for students, scholars, professionals, and the general public to acquaint them with America's Dairy State. It is a fitting memorial to Wisconsin's Sesquicentennial."—Victor Greene, professor of history, University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, author of American Immigrant Leaders, 1800–1910 "The attractive maps and graphics offer the reader a unique means of learning about individual ethnic groups, as well as making comparisons between groups. The Atlas will appeal to educators, to genealogists who wish to find an appropriate geographic context for their research, and to the general public interested in Wisconsin's cultural history and geography."—Robert C.
