SOCI 348 - Constructing Immigrant Communities 3 SS New Course Added 04/13/2006
First Semester. The U.S. 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.
