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-minorities 410 0$aRuth Simms Hamilton African Diaspora 606 $aAfricans$xCultural assimilation$zUnited States 606 $aAfricans$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 606 $aAfricans$zUnited States$xEconomic conditions 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 607 $aAfrica$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xSocial aspects 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 615 0$aAfricans$xCultural assimilation 615 0$aAfricans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aAfricans$xEconomic conditions. 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 676 $a973/.0496 700 $aThomas$b Kevin J.
