Kristiansen, Tore; And Others

Journal of Multilingual and Multicultural Development, v12 n6 p421-48 1991

Objective/subjective and qualitative/quantitative aspects of vitality in Solvang, a Danish-American community in California, are analyzed by ethnographic-like means. The setting represents a radical transformation from a fulfilling Grundtvigian community life to one that attracts tourists with a Danish facade. (52 references) (Author/LB)
