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.Routledge Communication SeriesMarriage customs and ritesUnited StatesCase studiesInterethnic marriageUnited StatesIntercultural communicationCase studiesSemioticsMarriage customs and ritesInterethnic marriageIntercultural communicationSemiotics.306.845392.5/0973Leeds-Hurwitz Wendy549916AU-PeELAU-PeELAU-PeELBOOK9910783508103321Wedding as text3868530UNINA
