  • Achievement, Discrimination, and Mexican Americans

    Open AccessSamuel J SuraceARTICLEComparative Studies in Society…1982Cited by: 3References: 32

    Overwhelming evidence from many sources, which covers diverse periods and aspects of life, suggests that the record of status attainment of Mexican Americans is unique among national groups in the United States. The variety of theoretical perspectives which has been used to explain the pattern of progress experienced by various national groups is not helpful in explaining why Mexican Americans depart from this pattern

  • The Experience of Migration: Settlement and Adjustment in Milan

    Open AccessSamuel J Surace, Melvin SeemanARTICLESociological Inquiry1981References: 14

    We examine two perspectives on the management of migration, involving the distinction between settlement and adjustment. The latter refers to urban migration that involves significant personal maladjustment, while settlement emphasizes the importance of social networks and coping strategies in moderating the consequences of migration. Using a sample representing both rural and urban origins and differential length of residence in Milan, it is sho…

  • Some Correlates of Civil Rights Activism

    Samuel J Surace, M SeemanARTICLESocial Forces1967

    The relation of intergroup contact to civil rights activities is examined among both whites and Negroes. The major hypotheses are (1) that equalitarian contact is associated with greater activism, but more particularly for whites than for Negroes, and (2) that contact leads to an interpenetration of perspectives. The data modestly support both hypotheses. Alternatives to the contact hypothesis are explored; namely, that activism is related to the…

  • Zoot-Suiters and Mexicans: Symbols in Crowd Behavior

    Ralph H Turner, Samuel J SuraceARTICLEAmerican Journal of Sociology1956Cited by: 12

    Content analysis is used to test a hypotesis that over hostile crowd behavior is preceded by the development of an unambigously unfavorable symbol. The Los Angeles "zoot-suit riots" of 1943 provide an instance, and a sample covering ten and one-half years of newspaper reference to the symbol "Mexican" is analyzed. The hypothesis receives support through the unanticipated emergence of new thematic elements displacing the old traditional references…
