What is the definition of Panethnicity?

Answer 1

"The development of bridging organizations and solidarities among subgroups of ethnic collectivities that are often seen as homogeneous by outsiders... Those... groups that, from an outsider's point of view, are most racially homogeneous are also the groups with the greatest panethnic development" (Lopez and Espiritu, 1990:219-20)

Answer 2

Panethnicity refers to a group identity that transcends specific ethnicities within that group. It involves bringing together people from different ethnic backgrounds who share common cultural or social characteristics.
