Historically, petit bourgeois ethnic groups have been able to mobilize to support collective economic goals. This study examines whether they can still draw on ethnic community support when many members no longer have an economic stake in the issue. Survey data on Japanese American support for the Japanese American farmers' position on a farm labor referendum were collected. There was a high degree of support among the second generation regardless of geographic poximity to the issue but a substantial decrease among the third generation as a function of distance. The analysis suggests that across generations ethnicity rests on different factors: for the older generation it is based on mutual cooperation and material aid; for the younger generation it is primarily a psychological dimension of selfidentification
