Although they are racially and ethnically diverse, few studies have examined how these differences affect their patterns of incorporation into society. This book is the first to highlight the role of race and ethnicity, Arab ethnicity in particular, in shaping the experiences of African immigrants. It demonstrates that American conceptions of race result in significant inequalities in the ways in which African immigrants are socially integrated. Thomas argues that suggestions that Black Africans are model-minoritiesRuth Simms Hamilton African DiasporaAfricansCultural assimilationUnited StatesAfricansUnited StatesSocial conditionsAfricansUnited StatesEconomic conditionsImmigrantsUnited StatesSocial conditionsElectronic books.AfricansCultural assimilationAfricansSocial conditions.AfricansEconomic conditions.ImmigrantsSocial conditions.973/.0496Thomas Kevin J.
