Contextual Influences on Immigrant Political Incorporation: Ethnic Concentration and Identity, Citizenship and Behavior

Abstract

How do various ethnic and racial contexts influence the adaptation trajectory of individuals from immigrant families? Immigration into the United States has grown rapidly since 1965 and large-scale changes in the demographic makeup of the country are expected to continue. This project focuses on how various contexts--ethnic and racial group concentration in space--affect the social and political incorporation of immigrants into American society.
