A spotlight on "established", as opposed to "newcomer", Americans

By elaborating upon the idea of "relational assimilation", Tomas Jimenez alters the dominant lens through which social scientists, and especially sociologists, have understood the concept of assimilation and the effects of immigration. In this highly readable and thoughtful book, we are asked to conceive of this kind of assimilation as one which involves "the give-and-take of adjustment", not just a one-way route by which "newcomers" must adapt to settings populated by "established" members of the population. According to the author, ongoing forms of immigration and its resulting diversity actually change the regional self-understandings of those who are already living in those settings
