American Ethnic Practices in the Early Twenty-first Century: The Milwaukee Study is a work in keeping with a twelve-year research project conducted in the greater Milwaukee area by Urban Anthropology Inc. The qualitative study examined the current strength of ethnicity and the contributions that ethnic practices have made to the wider society.

The most prominent findings in The Milwaukee Study were the ways that community-building activities of ethnic groups contributed to the wider society; and how this, in turn, can assist restore a needed balance between individualism and collectivism in the USA.
