Due to the legacy of slavery, including Jim Crow segregation and laws prohibiting racial intermarriage, blacks were excluded from participating in society as equals with whites. Those proscriptions were officially dismantled beginning with Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which desegregated public schools and culminated in the Civil Rights Act (1964), the Voting Rights Act (1965), and the Fair Housing Act (1968), as well as Loving v. Virginia (1967), which eliminated the remaining statutes against racial intermarriage. The concomitant removal of legal restrictions on immigration through the Hart-Celler Act (1965) provided opportunities for a new wave of arrivals from Asia and Latin America. In The Diversity Paradox, sociologists Lee and Bean (along with Bachmeier and Gubernskaya in chapter 4) seek to ascertain whether the experience of these new immigrants follows a trajectory similar to that of blacks or something comparable to that of their European antecedents, including access to a white racial identification.
