Zusammenfassung:The Family Background Project (FBP) asks students to blend sociological theory, the history of one American ethnic group, and the role that part of the student's family played--going back in time to the immigrant himself or herself if possible--in American ethnic history. Here, Myers discusses the assumptions on which the FBP is based, reviews the process that students experience, and makes some observations on using the FBP.
