    C Feliciano, Rubén G Rumbaut•ARTICLE•Ethnic and Racial Studies•2020•Cited by: 5•References: 17

    California was transformed by immigration in the 1980s. In 1991, a representative sample of children of immigrants and refugees was drawn from 8th/9th graders in San Diego's public schools. These CILS respondents were followed for nearly 25 years, from early adolescence to their late thirties, combining surveys with in-depth qualitative interviews. The educational and cultural integration of this segment of the new second generation has been larg…

    Open Access•Cynthia Feliciano, Rubén G Rumbaut•ARTICLE•Emerging Adulthood•2018•Cited by: 17•References: 24

    Through an analysis of qualitative interview and survey data, this study examines ethnic identity development from midadolescence to middle adulthood among a representative sample of immigrants’ children from Mexico, the Philippines, and other countries, who were followed for more than 20 years. Findings reveal that ethnic self-identity labels are more stable in adulthood than adolescence or the transition to adulthood, but the importance of ethn…

  • The New Deportations Delirium: Interdisciplinary Responses

    Luis Argueta, Maurice Belanger et al.•BOOK•The New Deportations Delirium•2015

    Since 1996, when the deportation laws were hardened, millions of migrants to the U.S., including many long-term legal permanent residents with “green cards,” have experienced summary arrest, incarceration without bail, transfer to remote detention facilities, and deportation without counsel—a life-time banishment from what is, in many cases, the only country they have ever known. U.S.-based families and communities face the loss of a worker, neig…

  • Immigration & Language Diversity in the United States

    Rubén G Rumbaut, D S Massey•ARTICLE•Daedalus•2013•Cited by: 18•References: 1

    While the United States historically has been a polyglot nation characterized by great linguistic diversity, it has also been a zone of language extinction in which immigrant tongues fade and are replaced by monolingual English within a few generations. In 1910, 10 million people reported a mother tongue other than English, notably German, Italian, Yiddish, and Polish. The subsequent end of mass immigration from Europe led to a waning of language…

  • Assessing the Effects of Recent Immigration on Serious Property Crime in Austin, Texas

    Open Access•Richard Stansfield, Scott Akin et al.•ARTICLE•Sociological Perspectives•2013•Cited by: 4•References: 62

    In this article the authors examine the impact of recent immigration on rates of serious property crime across communities in Austin, Texas. The greater Austin foreign-born population has increased by more than 580 percent since 1980, and Austin is considered a 'preemerging' immigrant gateway city to the United States. The changing population dynamics in Austin provide an excellent opportunity to study the effect of recent immigration on crime in…

  • Immigration and Adult Transitions

    Rubén G Rumbaut, Golnaz Komaie•ARTICLE•The Future of Children•2010

    Almost 30 percent of the more than 68 million young adults aged eighteen to thirty-four in the United States today are either foreign born or of foreign parentage. As these newcomers make their transitions to adulthood, say Rubén Rumbaut and Golnaz Komaie, they differ significantly not only from one another but also from their native-parentage counterparts, including blacks and whites. The authors document the demographic changes in the United St…

  • Survivor: Cuba

    Open Access•Luis E Rumbaut, Rubén G Rumbaut•ARTICLE•Latin American Perspectives•2009•References: 4

    Cuba's history subsequent to Spanish colonization can be divided into 50 years of republican capitalist government and 50 years of socialist revolutionary government, with an intervening 7 years of dictatorship. The revolutionary period was the result of and grew from the first, capitalist, period, including the Batista dictatorship, within the larger context of the cold war. Immediately after coming to power, the revolution met a determined reac…

  • Reaping What You Sow: Immigration, Youth, and Reactive Ethnicity

    Rubén G Rumbaut•ARTICLE•Applied Developmental Science•2008

    Every day we are reminded of-indeed, we are surrounded by-the myriad ways in which the United States remains a "permanently unfinished" society, a global sponge remarkable in its continuing capacity to absorb millions of people of all classes and cultures from every continent on earth.There are today nearly 40 million foreign-born persons in the U.S.-of whom 12 million are estimated to be undocumented, most from Mexico and Central America-and ano…

    As the United States begins the 21st century, it remains the world's leading immigration country. Almost 35 million legal and unauthorized migrants lived in the United States in 2000 (the latest year for which migration data are available on a global basis), a figure 2.7 times larger than the number in any other country (United Nations 2002). Although other nations have higher proportions of foreign-born residents (e.g., nearly 25 percent in Aust…

Southern California offers an ideal critical test of this …

  • On the Frontier of Adulthood

    F F Furstenberg, Frank F Furstenberg Jr et al.•CHAPTER•On the Frontier of Adulthood•2005

    Shifts in culture and society worked together to define adolescence as a meaningful life period separate from childhood and adulthood. Similar forces are at work today to make early adulthood a distinct and socially recognized stage of life. This book draws together information from a variety of sources to provide a more accurate and textured picture of early adulthood. It analyzes demographic, social, and economic transitions that occur as young…

  • On the Frontier of Adulthood: Theory, Research, and Public Policy

    R A Settersten, Richard A Settersten Jr et al.•BOOK•On the Frontier of Adulthood•2005

    On the Frontier of Adulthood reveals a startling new fact: adulthood no longer begins when adolescence ends. A lengthy period before adulthood, often spanning the twenties and even extending into the thirties, is now devoted to further education, job exploration, experimentation in romantic relationships, and personal development.Especially dramatic shifts have occurred in the conventional markers of adulthood - leaving home, finishing school, ge…

  • A Distorted Nation: Perceptions of Racial/Ethnic Group Sizes and Attitudes Toward Immigrants and Other Minorities

    R Alba, Rubén G Rumbaut et al.•ARTICLE•Social Forces•2005•Cited by: 103

    Using a special module (MEUS) of the 2000 General Social Survey, we investigate Americans perceptions of the racial and ethnic composition of the United States. We show that, because of innumeracy, it is critical to gauge perceptions through relative, rather than absolute, group sizes. Even so, it appears that, as of 2000, roughly half of Americans believed that whites had become a numerical minority; such perceptions were even more common among …

  • Gendered paths: Educational and occupational expectations and outcomes among adult children of immigrants

    This article examines young adults' educational and occupational trajectories over a ten-year period using panel data from the Children of Immigrants Longitudinal Study (CILS) in California. While many of the young men and women in the study are on straightforward paths to socioeconomic success, others are falling well short of their goals and imagined futures. Males begin with lower educational and occupational expectations than females in junio…

    Focusing on the formation of ethnic self-identities during adolescence, this paper examines the psychosocial adaptation of children of immigrants from Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. The data are drawn from the CILS survey carried out in the San Diego and Miami metropolitan areas of over 5,000 children of immigrants attending the 8th and 9th grades in local schools. The sample is evenly split by gender and nativity (half are U.S.-born, hal…

    This article focuses on problems with the definition and empirical identification of immigrant “first” and “second” generations in the United States. These loosely conceived aggregates are decomposed into a typology of distinct generational cohorts defined by age and life stage at migration for the foreign born and by parental nativity for the U.S. born. Differences in educational and occupational attainment and in language and other aspects of a…

  • Assimilation and its Discontents: Between Rhetoric and Reality

    Open Access•Rubén G Rumbaut•ARTICLE•International Migration Review•1997•Cited by: 64•References: 32

    The process of immigrant assimilation is typically and uncritically conceived as one of linear progress – becoming similar to the dominant group in the place of destination is presumed to be a good thing. But a compelling body of evidence on the adaptation of immigrants and their children points to a deterioration of outcomes over time and generation in the United States, as well as to nonlinear processes of change. While linguistic assimilation …

    Open Access•Rubén G Rumbaut•ARTICLE•Sociological Perspectives•1997•Cited by: 32•References: 29

    The concept of assimilation, whether as outcome or process, conflates elements that are both empirical and ideological, ethnographic and ethnocentric. Conventional wisdom on the adaptation of immigrants in America has conceived of 'assimilation' prescriptively and not only descriptively, as a linear process of progressive adjustment to American life. This conception is guided by an implicit deficit model: to get ahead immigrants need to learn how…

    Open Access•Rubén G Rumbaut•ARTICLE•International Migration Review•1997•Cited by: 64•References: 32

    The process of immigrant assimilation is typically and uncritically conceived as one of linear progress – becoming similar to the dominant group in the place of destination is presumed to be a good thing. But a compelling body of evidence on the adaptation of immigrants and their children points to a deterioration of outcomes over time and generation in the United States, as well as to nonlinear processes of change.

  • Paradoxes (and Orthodoxies) of Assimilation

    Open Access•Rubén G Rumbaut•ARTICLE•Sociological Perspectives•1997•Cited by: 32•References: 29

    The concept of assimilation, whether as outcome or process, conflates elements that are both empirical and ideological, ethnographic and ethnocentric. Conventional wisdom on the adaptation of immigrants in America has conceived of 'assimilation' prescriptively and not only descriptively, as a linear process of progressive adjustment to American life. This conception is guided by an implicit deficit model: to get ahead immigrants need to learn how…

  • Introduction: Immigration and Incorporation

    Open Access•Rubén G Rumbaut•ARTICLE•Sociological Perspectives•1997•Cited by: 7•References: 3

    In at least one sense the 'American century' is ending much as it had begun: the United States has again become a nation of immigrants, and it is again being transformed in the process. But the diversity of the 'new immigration' to the United States over the past three decades differs in many respects from that of the last period of mass immigration in the first three decades of the century. The immigrants themselves differ greatly in their socia…

    Rubén G Rumbaut, A Portes•CHAPTER•Ethnicities•2001

    This chapter discusses the manifold impact of immigration on the cities and states of the United States, especially in major urban centers where large immigrant communities have sprouted. It explains that immigration, enslavement, annexation, and conquest were the originating processes by which American ethnicities were formed and through which, over time, the United States was transformed into one of the world's most ethnically diverse societies…
