The diversity paradox
immigration and the color line in 21st century America
by Lee, Jennifer
African Americans grapples with Jim Crow segregation until it was legally overturned in the 1960s. In subsequent decades, the country witnessed a new wave of immigration from Asia and Latin America, forever changing the face of American society and making it more racially diverse than ever before. This book takes the legacy of these two poles of American collective identity- the legacies of slavery and immigration- and ask if today's immigrants are destined to become racialized minorities akin to African Americans or if their incorporation into U.S. society will more closely resemble that of their European predecessors. They also tackle the vexing question of whether America's new racial diversity is helping to erode the tenacious black/white color line. -- Book Jacket.
