Week 10- Notes
Second-Generation Americans: Ethnic Identification and Assimilation
How do American born children of immigrants identify?
The answer(s) to this question has been the focus of much of the immigration scholarship emerging
on second-generation Americans. My work on second-generation Americans in the IndoGuyanese community focuses on how a twice-migrant, multi-ethnic group develop their identities
through an array of ethnic options. I focus on how religion shapes this ethnic community and the
ways in which Guyanese Americans of Indian ancestry are using religious traditions as a form of
socio-political identification in NY.
Much of the research on second-generation Afro-Caribbean Americans or American born Latinos
with phenotypical similarities to African Americans indicates that they are often seen as “Black”
in America and have difficulty accepting this label as they fear it will lead to stigma and stereotypes
associated with crime, poverty and lack of educational attainment. West Indians of African descent
are more likely to emphasize their Caribbean accents to distinguish themselves from African
Americans—in hopes of avoiding the racialization you learned about last week.
Nationality and Ethnicity:
Some members of the second generation may adopt a pan-ethnic identity such as Latino or
Caribbean. While others may identify with a specific country: Indian, Chinese or Russian. This
usually varies on geographical location and the racialization they experience from wider society
The New Second Plus-Generation:
The new second plus generation usually refers to the children of post 1965 immigrants and their
offspring. Sure the earlier wave of European immigrants that arrived from the late 1800s-1924 also
experienced similar forms of racialization but the new wave of immigration has more linguistic,
racial, ethnic and religious diversity—which has created different forms of xenophobia in America
(or fear of different groups).
Bringing in Gender:
A gendered approach is necessary for understanding the differences in integration patterns for
second-generation Americans. Many studies on the second-generation continue to focus on
comparing immigrant groups as a whole without considering how gendered scripts affect who
participates in specific cultural activities (and to what degree) and how that may affect their
mainstream assimilation in America.

This book brings together research by a diverse array of social science scholars
seeking to understand new developments in gender and U.S. immigration. The volume began when I was invited by a journal to serve as guest editor for a special issue on gender and migration to the United States; six of the articles that originally
appeared in the American Behavioral Scientist ( January ) are reproduced here. I
subsequently invited other scholars working in diverse communities at the intersections of gender and immigration to contribute to this book. I thank this talented
group of social scientists for their hard work, their commitment to this project, their
close attention to detail in the revision process, and for their patience. Although
we never came together in a conference format to discuss our respective projects,
our ideas and words have migrated across space and time. We are a community
bound by similar interests, and I hope the dialogue will continue and expand to
include others.
I am also grateful to my students at the University of Southern California for
their inspiration and interests in many of the themes discussed in this volume. In
particular, I wish to acknowledge Fajima Bedran, Belinda Lum, and Akiko Yasuike,
graduate students who participated in a directed reading group where we read and
discussed many of the initial drafts that appear here. Belinda Lum deserves special thanks. At the tail end of this project, she helped keep me on track with her
incredible organizational skills and computer wizardry. She’s amazing!

Gender and Immigration
A Retrospective and Introduction
Copyright © 2003. University of California Press. All rights reserved.
Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo
The intent of this volume is both modest and ambitious. High-caliber social science research has emerged on gender and U.S.-bound immigration in recent years,
and this book simply draws together some of the best new work in the field. The
book includes essays by pioneers who have logged nearly two decades in the field
of gender and immigration, and new empirical work by both young scholars and
well-established social scientists who bring their substantial talents to this topic for
the first time. More ambitiously, this volume seeks to alert scholars and students to
some of the gender consequences emerging from the last three decades of resurgent U.S. immigration. This immigration is changing life as we know it, in the
United States and elsewhere, in many ways. One important change concerns the
place of women and men in society.
I felt a need to put together this book because of the continued silence on gender in the contemporary social science literature on U.S. immigration. A glance at
the main journals and at recent edited volumes on American immigration and international migration reveals that basic concepts such as sex, gender, power, privilege, and sexual discrimination only rarely enter the vocabulary or research design
of immigration research. This is puzzling. Gender is one of the fundamental social relations anchoring and shaping immigration patterns, and immigration is one
of the most powerful forces disrupting and realigning everyday life. It is my hope
that the chapters in this volume will earn the recognition they deserve, spur a wider
conversation about immigration and how it is changing social life for women and
men, and prompt immigration scholars to design research that acknowledges the
gendered social world in which we live.

THE EMERGENCE OF IMMIGRATION SCHOLARSHIP
AND GENDER STUDIES
During the s and s, the social sciences experienced major transformations.
Among the most notable were two separate developments: the growth in feministoriented scholarship and immigration research. The establishment of women’s
studies programs and research derived from the second-wave feminist movement,
which emerged in the s to advocate equality for women. Feminist research
called attention to the unequal power relations between women and men in society and illuminated and analyzed how women’s and men’s actions, positions, and
relative privileges in society are socially constructed in ways that tend to favor men.
Since then, we have witnessed a shift away from the premise of a unitary notion of
“women” or “men” to an increasingly accepted perspective that acknowledges how
the multiplicities of masculinities and femininities are interconnected, relational,
and, most important, enmeshed in relations of class, race, and nation. Globalization, immigration, and transnationalism are significant sites for contemporary inquiries of gender.
The growth in immigration research derived not from a social movement like
feminism, but from the massive increase in literal human movement across borders
during the late th century. Today, it is estimated that as many as million people live in nations other than those in which they were born. Only a small portion
of these millions have come to the United States, although many Americans believe that the whole world has descended on their country. U.S. immigrants have
reached unprecedented numbers—about million according to the census—
but this constitutes only about % of the total U.S. population, a smaller percentage than we saw earlier in the th century. Immigration is certainly nothing new
for the United States—it is, after all, foundational to the national narrative—but the
resurgence of immigration during the last three decades has taken many Americans
by surprise. Prompted by global restructuring and post–World War II U.S. military,
political, and economic involvement throughout Asia, the Caribbean, and Latin
America, and facilitated by the amendment to the McCarran-Walter Immigration Act, which erased national origin quotas that had previously excluded Asians,
U.S. immigration picked up in the s and shows few signs of diminishing.
In the s and s, immigration to the United States from Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean increased dramatically. These contemporary i …
