Mary Waters, however, tells a very different story. She finds that the values that gain first-generation immigrants initial success--a willingness to work hard, a lack of attention to racism, a desire for education, an incentive to save--are undermined by the realities of life and race relations in the United States. Contrary to long-held beliefs, Waters finds, those who resist Americanization are most likely to succeed economically, especially in the second generation.West Indian AmericansEthnic identityWest Indian AmericansRace identityWest Indian AmericansCultural assimilationImmigrantsUnited StatesSocial conditionsUnited StatesEthnic relationsUnited StatesRace relationsElectronic books.West Indian AmericansEthnic identity.West Indian AmericansRace identity.West Indian AmericansCultural assimilation.ImmigrantsSocial conditions.305.896/9729073Waters Mary C676343MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455067903321Black identities2461092UNINA01150nam a2200289 i 4500991001652109707536 88061685849788806168582b13405925-39ule_instDip.to Studi Storiciita941.06 Colley, Linda565361Prigionieri :l'Inghilterra, l'impero e il mondo 1600-1850 / Linda ColleyTorino,Einaudi,c2004XVII, 460 p. :ill. ;22cmBiblioteca di cultura storica; 250Trad. di Aldo FabbriImpero britannicoStoria sociale1600-1850Gran BretagnaImperialismo1600-1850 .b1340592506-09-1630-05-06991001652109707536LE023 941.06 COL 1 112023000086087le023-E43.00-l- 00000.i1424438x31-05-06LE023 941.06 COL 1 1 bis 22023000144282le023pE43.00-l- 00000.i1572927825-07-16Prigionieri1044937UNISALENTOle02330-05-06ma -itait 00
