Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy and Assimilation: The Blending of Immigrant Heritages in America In Europe the fierce fires of nationalistic strife had not been extinguished by the broadening economic interests of the various peoples during the latter part of the nineteenth and the early part of the twentieth centuries. They had only been dimmed, and the whole continent was ready to burst into flames again upon the slightest provocation by the imperialistic war-lords. The assassination of the throne-apparent of austria-hungary in Serajevo on June 28th, 1914, furnished a fit pretext. Once the struggle was on (whatever may have been its ultimate economic causes), it drew nourishment from the deep and hid den well-springs of an aroused nationalistic spirit. In literal truth, then, the world war soon became a war of nationalities. The immediate motivating force was either the self-centered, brutal aims of the European imperialists at national pre-eminence in world politics, or the consciousness of an outraged, mutilated group life, as was the case in Belgium, France, Serbia and Roumania, or a fierce resentment of age-long domina tion by master races, as for example, that of the suppressed nationalities of the austro-hungarian Mon archy. The greater the danger of annihilation, the stronger was the impulse to fight to the bitter end. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Speaking of Diversity by : Philip Gleason
Download or read book Speaking of Diversity written by Philip Gleason and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2019-12-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1992. In this collection of essays, Philip Gleason explores the different linguistic tools that American scholars have used to write about ethnicity in the United States and analyzes how various vocabularies have played out in the political sphere. In doing this, he reveals tensions between terms used by academic groups and those preferred by the people whom the academics discuss. Gleason unpacks words and phrases—such as melting pot and plurality—used to visualize the multitude of ethnicities in the United States. And he examines debates over concepts such as "assimilation," "national character," "oppressed group," and "people of color." Gleason advocates for greater clarity of these concepts when discussed in America's national political arena. Gleason's essays are grouped into three parts. Part 1 focuses on linguistic analyses of specific terms. Part 2 examines the effect of World War II on national identity and American thought about diversity and intergroup relations. Part 3 discusses discourse on the diversity of religions. This collection of eleven essays sharpens our historical understanding of the evolution of language used to define diversity in twentieth-century America.

Book Synopsis The Economics of Immigration by : Benjamin Powell
Download or read book The Economics of Immigration written by Benjamin Powell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Economics of Immigration summarizes the best social science studying the actual impact of immigration, which is found to be at odds with popular fears. Greater flows of immigration have the potential to substantially increase world income and reduce extreme poverty. Existing evidence indicates that immigration slightly enhances the wealth of natives born in destination countries while doing little to harm the job prospects or reduce the wages of most of the native-born population. Similarly, although a matter of debate, most credible scholarly estimates of the net fiscal impact of current migration find only small positive or negative impacts. Importantly, current generations of immigrants do not appear to be assimilating more slowly than prior waves. Although the range of debate on the consequences of immigration is much narrower in scholarly circles than in the general public, that does not mean that all social scientists agree on what a desirable immigration policy embodies. The second half of this book contains three chapters, each by a social scientist who is knowledgeable of the scholarship summarized in the first half of the book, which argue for very different policy immigration policies. One proposes to significantly cut current levels of immigration. Another suggests an auction market for immigration permits. The third proposes open borders. The final chapter surveys the policy opinions of other immigration experts and explores the factors that lead reasonable social scientists to disagree on matters of immigration policy.

Book Synopsis Immigration and the Remaking of Black America by : Tod G. Hamilton
Download or read book Immigration and the Remaking of Black America written by Tod G. Hamilton and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2019-05-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2020 Otis Dudley Duncan Award for Outstanding Scholarship in Social Demography Honorable Mention for the 2020 Thomas and Znaniecki Award from the International Migration Section of the American Sociological Association Over the last four decades, immigration from the Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa to the U. S. has increased rapidly. In several states, African immigrants are now major drivers of growth in the black population. While social scientists and commentators have noted that these black immigrants’ social and economic outcomes often differ from those of their native-born counterparts, few studies have carefully analyzed the mechanisms that produce these disparities. In Immigration and the Remaking of Black America, sociologist and demographer Tod Hamilton shows how immigration is reshaping black America. He weaves together interdisciplinary scholarship with new data to enhance our understanding of the causes of socioeconomic stratification among both the native-born and newcomers. Hamilton demonstrates that immigration from the Caribbean and sub-Saharan Africa is driven by selective migration, meaning that newcomers from these countries tend to have higher educational attainment than those who stay behind. As a result, they arrive in the U.S. with some advantages over native-born blacks, and, in some cases, over whites. He also shows the importance of historical context: prior to the Civil Rights Movement, black immigrants’ socioeconomic outcomes resembled native-born blacks’ much more closely, regardless of their educational attainment in their country of origin. Today, however, certain groups of black immigrants have better outcomes than native-born black Americans—such as lower unemployment rates and higher rates of homeownership—in part because they immigrated at a time of expanding opportunities for minorities and women in general. Hamilton further finds that rates of marriage and labor force participation among native-born blacks that move away from their birth states resemble those of many black immigrants, suggesting that some disparities within the black population stem from processes associated with migration, rather than from nativity alone. Hamilton argues that failing to account for this diversity among the black population can lead to incorrect estimates of the social progress made by black Americans and the persistence of racism and discrimination. He calls for future research on racial inequality to disaggregate different black populations. By richly detailing the changing nature of black America, Immigration and the Remaking of Black America helps scholars and policymakers to better understand the complexity of racial disparities in the twenty-first century.
