Patterns of Black–White Partnership
Objective This paper asks: do black immigrants have higher rates of white partnership than African Americans? Background Some say white Americans feel more comfortable among black immigrants than among African Americans. Anglo‐Caribbean accents, in particular, have been described as appealing. Research finds that some black immigrant groups do have higher rates of union with whites, but that advantage disappears when confounding factors are contr…
Mass culture versus class culture
This comment argues that scholars have been too quick to dismiss Confucian culture as an explanation for the exceptional educational attainment of second generation Asian Americans. It shows that, for centuries, all classes in Confucian societies perceived education as the engine of upward mobility, not merely elites. For this reason, the children of working class Chinese and Japanese immigrants outperformed whites already before World War II. Fu…
Selectivity Is Still in the Running
This comment is in response to Ifatunji's ( ) article, “Labor Market Disparities Between African Americans and Afro Caribbeans: Reexamining the Role of Immigrant Selectivity,” published in this journal
Why are Asian-Americans educationally hyper-selected? The case of Taiwan
Several Asian-American groups are more educated than their non-migrant compatriots in Asia and their native-born white competitors in America. Lee and Zhou show that this "educational hyper-selectivity" has significant implications for the socio-economic success of Asian immigrants and their children. But they devote relatively little attention to its causes. This paper develops an answer in the Taiwan case. Using interviews and statistics, it sh…
Falling Leaves Return To Their Roots’
Because technical innovation is the engine of growth, nations are eager to attract and retain skilled migrants. This paper uses survey data to explore the intention to return among a highly skilled migrant population: Taiwan‐born household heads in the US. The inquiry is guided by expectations drawn from neo‐classical economics (NE) and the New Economics of Labour Migration (NELM). Multivariate analysis firsts predicts the intention to return, th…
The Effect of Nativity, Ethnicity and Race on the Earnings of Cape Verdean Americans
This paper estimates the net effects of nativity, ethnicity and race on the earnings of Cape Verdean Americans, a small, Afro-European group who speak a Portuguese-based Creole. While in their homeland, most Cape Verdeans identify as mestiço, but in America they are usually perceived as black. The data come from the 2000 US Census and the American Community Survey (2000–2007); Native Born Non-Hispanic Whites and African Americans serve as benchma…
Cape Verdean identity in a land of Black and White
Cape Verde is an island group off the African coast with a history of slavery. Its residents having both European and African ancestors, they consider themselves a mixed-race people. Residents of the United States, however, observe the one-drop rule: anyone with a perceptible trace of African blood is defined as Black. This difference motivates us to ask: how do Cape Verdean Americans answer questions about their racial identity? Strict assimilat…

The Secret of West Indian Success
Ethnicity, Social Mobility, and Public Policy
This major comparative study of the social mobility of ethnic minorities in the US and UK argues that social mobility must be understood as a complex and multi-dimensional phenomenon, incorporating the wealth and income of groups, but also their political power and social recognition. Written by leading sociologists, economists, political scientists, geographers, and philosophers in both countries, the volume addresses issues as diverse as educat…

The Cost of Not Being Christian
This article compares foreign born Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims to native born white Christians on four economic outcomes in two nations: Britain and Canada. For Canada, our data come from the 1991 Census, for Britain from the Fourth National Survey of Ethnic Minorities (1994). Theory and research lead us to predict that, ceteris paribus, non-Christians will fare better in Canada on three of the four outcomes. In the main, however, this expectation …
Unions between blacks and whites
In this article, US and UK census data are used to compare the propensity for matches between blacks and native born whites in England and the US. Blacks are disaggregated into three ethnic groups: Black Caribbeans, Residual Blacks and, in the US, African Americans. The first group receives the most theoretical attention. Both raw percentages and parameters that control for several covariates - such as age, education and city of residence - are e…
Black-White Unions
In this research we use 1990 PUMS data to compare the propensity for unions between African Americans and native whites with the propensity for unions between British West Indians and native whites. In addition, we distinguish women and men. Descriptive statistics indicate that West Indians, with the exception of men who arrived as adults, are more likely than African Americans to have white partners. After the introduction of controls for severa…
Black Caribbeans in comparative perspective
This article compares the gap in socioeconomic well‐being between native‐born white persons and Black Caribbean immigrants in four nations: the USA, the UK, Canada and France. Theoretical considerations suggest that the gap will be smallest in France, followed by the USA. The data come from recent censuses and labour market surveys. Four labour market outcomes are considered: labour force participation, unemployment, occupational status and earni…
Ethnic inequality in England
Using data drawn from the Samples of Anonymised Records (SARs) of the 1991 UK Census, this study uses multivariate analysis to examine the economic position of immigrants and their children on six dependent variables. The research finds that, net measurable individual characteristics, some non-white groups outperform native whites, several non-white groups outperform the foreign-born Irish, and Pakistanis are not uniquely disadvantaged. Native bi…
Still the Promised City
An occupational tale of two cities
In this paper, queuing theory is tested through an examination of the occupational attainment of six groups of non-whites in London and New York. Workers in the dominant economy are distinguished from those in the niche economy and emphasis is placed on the former. Black male immigrants in New York and black female immigrants in London hold more favorable occupational status. These results reflect differences in (1) the presence of indigenous min…
Ethnic Economy and Industry in Mid-Twentieth Century Gotham
This paper uses census data to examine the distinction between ethnic economy effects and industry effects in the New York SMSA. Focusing only on employees, I compare the attainments of “insiders,” that is, of ethnics within their ethnic economy industries, with the attainment of “outsiders” in the same industries. I find little difference. I then examine whether the industries in which ethnic economies are embedded offer all incumbents significa…
Context and Opportunity
Does the U.S. or the U.K provide the more favorable environment for the economic achievement of immigrants? We explore this question by comparing the occupational attainment of six groups of nonwhites in London and New York. Most theoretical perspectives anticipate that the U.S. provides a more favorable context, at least sofar as occupations are concerned. Our results confirm this prediction, but more convincingly for men than women. A queuing p…

West Indian Prosperity
Both scholars and the public often express the opinion that, in the United States, West Indian Blacks are more economically successful than African Americans. This paper explores two dimensions of this hypothesis, labor force participation and earnings, for residents of the New York SMSA in 1970, 1980, and 1990. The outcomes of West Indian men and women, both foreign and native born, are compared to African American men and women. The results sho…

Caribbean Immigrants
This article examines the 1980 earnings and earnings attainment process of Afro-Caribbean immigrants relative to Afro-Americans, native-born whites and foreign-born whites. Controlling for gender, the comparisons consider Caribbean Islanders as a whole and disaggregated by nation of origin. The results indicate that, in 1980 at least, fact did not justify the opinion that any West Indian subgroup had higher gross or net earnings than native-born …

Housework by Husbands Determinants and Implications
WOMEN continue to carry disproportionate responsibility for household tasks. A study of 650 Detroit women reveals that attitudes, employment status, life cycle, and husband's income all contribute to husband's housework effort. Some evidence is presented that the greater the earnings differential of husband over wife, the less he contributes in help at home

The Ethnic Economy
Using 1980 PUMS data for Miami Cuban and Bay Area Chinese immigrant males, this study operationalizes and tests three theories about the earnings of employees in ethnic economies. The results consistently show that the allocation of financial rewards in the ethnic economy closely resembles that found elsewhere. Although this finding merits more extensive confirmation in primary data, it implies that ethnic economy theories contribute little to th…

This article contributes to the growing literature maintaining that the ethnic enclave represents a distinct, third alternative to a dual economy. The data are interviews with 45 elderly, immigrant blacks, Jews and Italians from New York City. Two facets of the enclave are explored: determinants of job outcomes for employees and factors responsible for entrepreneurial viability. With regard to employees, the analysis shows enclave workers obtain …

Drawing on 1980 Public Use Microdata Samples (PUMS), this study compares the determinants of annual hours of work for whites, blacks, and mainland-born Puerto Ricans residing in the New York SMSA in 1979. Two theoretical approaches are tested; a neoclassical specification and an extended structural model. The analysis supports both approaches. Few differences in coefficients exist between white and minority men, but the hours of minority women ar…
The Economic Progress Of European And East Asian Americans
This paper reviews the recent literature on the determinants of socioeconomic success among immigrants from Europe and East Asia. The survey focuses on the larger, better studied groups and gives particular attention to historically based investigations of their progress. The concluding section emphasizes the need for additional descriptive and explanatory research on the labor market outcomes of ethnic Americans since the Second World War
