Baltzell, E Digby

Baltzell, E Digby
▪ 1997

      U.S. sociologist who popularized the term WASP, an acronym for "white Anglo-Saxon Protestant"; though the term reportedly originated in 1957, not until 1964, when Baltzell used it in the highly influential The Protestant Establishment: Aristocracy & Caste in America, did it achieve widespread usage (b. Nov. 14, 1915—d. Aug. 17, 1996).
