H 1103 Ethnic Groups
TYPES OF HEADINGS COVERED: The subdivisions listed below may
be used on a free-floating basis, as appropriate, under subject headings for
ethnic groups, including preliterate groups, historic peoples no longer in
existence, races, and ethnic groups in the United States, for example, Berbers;
French-Canadians; Australian aborigines; Hmong (Asian people); Dinka (African people); Turkic peoples; Minoans; Blacks;
Cuban Americans; Scandinavian Americans. The category also includes the heading
Jews and headings for Jews of various nationalities, for example, Jews,
Italian, except for subdivisions noted in the list below and indicated by UF
references in the subject authority file. Also included are headings for
nationalities such as Danish, Asians, and Ukrainians, when they are used to
designate those nationalities outside their native countries. The category
includes headings for the indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere:
Indians; headings for the five major regional groupings of Indians: Indians of
Central America; Indians of Mexico; Indians of North America; Indians of South
America; and Indians of the West Indies; as well as groups of tribes and
individual tribes established as subject headings. Examples: Aleuts; Eskimos;
Navajo Indians; Uto-Aztecan Indians; Zapotec Indians.
The separate pattern list for groups of Indians, H 1152, was discontinued in
February 1994. This list does not cover the general heading Indigenous peoples.
For subdivisions used under classes of persons, including age and sex groups,
social, economic, and political categories, members of religions, occupational
groups, etc., see H 1100. Headings for such classes of persons qualified by
ethnic or national adjectival qualifiers, such as African American dentists, French
students, or Alien labor, Turkish, are also covered by H 1100 rather than this
list.
NATIONALITIES: Do not subdivide headings for nationalities
by subdivisions on this list to designate a topic in conjunction with a
nationality in its own country. Instead, express the topic by headings of the
type: [topic]-[place] or [place]-[topic], for example, Mental health-United
States, not Americans-Mental health; Spain-Antiquities, not
Spanish-Antiquities. Subdivisions on this list may be used under headings for
nationalities only to express topics in conjunction with those nationalities
outside their native countries, for example, Spanish-Florida-Antiquities;
Turks-Employment-Germany. For instructions on the construction and use of
headings for nationalities, see H 1919.5.
Note: Most form subdivisions coded $v in this list may also
be used as topical subdivisions coded $x when assigned to works about the form
(see H 1075, sec. 1.d.).
