Melting Pot
Mainly used as a metaphor to evoke the experiences of assimilation for immigrants in the United States, “melting pot” is a term that has been used by scholars and policy‐makers in the exploration of race/ethnicity, immigration, and inequality. One strand of this concept rests on the belief that immigrant groups eventually shed beliefs, linguistic styles, and other cultural practices from their country of origin and meld with other people in order…
An Examination of Latinx LGBT Populations Across the United States
This book utilizes personal narratives and survey data from over 1,100 respondents to explore the diversity of experiences across Latinx LGBT communities within the United States, including Puerto Ric
It Takes a Family
Black family structures, dynamics, and processes in the United States have had a long history of investigation in the social sciences. And recently, research on sexual orientation disclosure has become an important feature of the scholarship on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations. The various ways in which the family affects a person's decision to be an out LGBT person, or outness, are less known. Using a national sample of…
Civic Engagement, Religion, and Health
Intersections of age, race, gender, sexuality, and aging keep older, black lesbians hidden from public consciousness and from researchers. While previous research has documented a relationship between religion, civic engagement, and health for black women, there is little known about these for older black lesbians. This paper offers a quantitative analysis of the relationship between religion, health, and civic engagement for a sample (N=149) of …

Findings indicate that, for all groups of women, feelings of connectedness to the LGBT community was the most significant predic…

Findings indicate that, for all groups of men, fee…

The Relative Importance of Race and Socioeconomic Status Among Hispanic and White Students
Using a nationally representative sample from the National Educational Longitudinal Study, this research examines the longitudinal effects of race and socioeconomic status on 12th-grade educational achievement and achievement 2 years after high school. For 12th-grade outcomes, the authors found no statistical difference in scores between Hispanic and White students. Two years after high school, the results were very surprising: (a) when controlli…
