Segmented Assimilation Discussion
Question Description
Can you help me understand this Sociology question?
In 200 words, describe how segmented assimilation is supposed to work and how it compares to earlier immigration. What groups are most at risk for downward assimilation according to Portes & Zhou? To what extent do you think immigration in the Ellis Island wave (roughly 1880-1920) also matched the segmented patterns they describe? Explain.
