Faulkner tests the theory using data on children of immigrants and later generation youths and analyzes how context of reception, adaptation obstacles, and protective factors are associated with paths of assimilation. She take into account five factors that segmented assimilation theory has not fully considered (1) assimilation's intergenerational nature, (2) life course stage, (3) assimilation starting points, (4) gender, and (5) later generation comparisons.New Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)AmericanizationChildren of immigrantsUnited StatesLongitudinal studiesSocial mobilityUnited StatesElectronic books.Americanization.Children of immigrantsSocial mobility305.9/069120973Faulkner Caroline L.1976-942736MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462539503321Economic mobility and cultural assimilation among children of immigrants2127357UNINA
