SOCI 348 - Constructing Immigrant Communities


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 Hours
Attribute: 3 SS

The United States is currently experiencing its highest rates of immigration ever - both legal and illegal. How are groups building distinct communities and/or assimilating? What is the reaction of the second generation to its minority status? Also, how should the U.S. respond to immigration? Is the discourse of multiculturalism helpful? Taking a comparative approach, we examine why groups immigrate, the kinds of communities they form, and with what effects on themselves, other groups and the nation. Enrollment Limit 25.
Instructor: P. Dhingra
