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. 606 $aWest Indian Americans$xEthnic identity 606 $aWest Indian Americans$xRace identity 606 $aWest Indian Americans$xCultural assimilation 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xSocial conditions 607 $aUnited States$xEthnic relations 607 $aUnited States$xRace relations 615 0$aWest Indian Americans$xEthnic identity. 615 0$aWest Indian Americans$xRace identity. 615 0$aWest Indian Americans$xCultural assimilation. 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 676 $a305.896/9729073 700 $aWaters$b Mary C$0676343 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959588303321 996 $aBlack identities$94360131 997 $aUNINA
