It is generally believed that, once assimilated into American society, a person's ethnic identity becomes largely irrelevant to his or her political attitudes and behavior. Professor Nelson has found that such is not the case. His study of six ethnic groups in New York City leads him to the conclusion that ethnic group membership-regardless of assimilation, length of residence in the city, educational level, or socioeconomic mobility-continues to make for substantial differences between ethnic groups with regard to political attitudes and participation
