- Immigration, Race, and Shifting Color Lines in the U.S.

Catalog description

A survey of immigration to the U.S. since 1880 paying special attention to theories and evidence of adaptation and incorporation among immigrants and their U.S. born children. Students will analyze interview and survey data to assess the extent and pace of incorporation within and across generations of immigrants who have arrived in recent decades--mostly from Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin America. Ultimately, students will draw conclusions about whether and how recent immigrant incorporation has shifted or reified existing racial boundaries in the U.S.
