The social context of residential integration
ethnic groups in the United States and Canada
by Ann H. Kim
"The residential segregation of ethnic groups represents their degree of integration or distinctiveness in society and is the result of a process of incorporation that differs by ethnic group and place. Kim explores how these patterns of integration are shaped by the cultural and structural organization of societies. Her comparative analysis of ethnic residential integration in Canada and the United States reveals that there are important cross-national as well as ethnic group differences. In the US, the racial structure affects integration; Canada is distinctive for its integration ideology and policies. At a group level, the motivation for migration, i.e., economic or humanitarian, is revealed as the key factor to explain integration patterns in both countries."--BOOK JACKET.
