Abstract

A wedding serves as the beginning marker of a marriage; if a couple is to manage cultural differences throughout their relationship, they must first pass the hurdle of designing a wedding ceremony that accommodates those differences. In this volume, author Wendy Leeds-Hurwitz documents the weddings of 112 couples from across the United States, studied over a 10-year period. She focuses on intercultural weddings--interracial, interethnic, interfaith, international, and interclass--looking at how real people are coping with cultural differences in their lives.

Abstract

Thick description describes a primary characteristic of good ethnography: a sufficiently complex description to permit a reader (or occasionally, viewer) to move beyond the presentation of individual details to true understanding. It is typically opposed to "thin" descriptionalso called "mere" or "quick" descriptionwhich limits the amount of detail, providing only superficial knowledge or a summary. Given that ethnography is intended to be the result of long-term participant observation, it makes sense that the published results should convey rich meaning, far beyond what any "brief stop by a tourist" could reveal. Thick description typically takes a semiotic approach, emphasizing how people construct and convey meaning through signs and symbols, both for themselves and others.
