Acculturation and Integration Patterns among Indian and African University Students in South Africa
South Africa is a country in transition. Apartheid, akin to “ethnic cleansing”, created a siege ingroup mentality. The 1994 democratic elections ushered in the “Rainbow” nation. In this historical context, this exploratory study of acculturation and integration to western culture by young people of non–western origins was conducted. A sample of 63 African and 106 Indian, male and female students at the University of Durban–Westville (now part of …

New demands have arisen regarding the well-being of visible ethnic minority Canadians,…
