One out of five Americans, more than 55 million people, are first-or second-generation immigrants. This landmark study, the most comprehensive to date, probes all aspects of the new immigrant second generation's lives, exploring their immense potential to transform American society for better or worse. Whether this new generation reinvigorates the nation or deepens its social problems depends on the social and economic trajectories of this still young population. In "Legacies", Alejandro Portes and Ruben G. Rumbaut - two of the leading figures in the field - provide a close look at this rising second generation, including their patterns of acculturation, family and school life, language, identity, experiences of discrimination, self-esteem, ambition, and achievement. Based on the largest research study of its kind, "Legacies" combines vivid vignettes with a wealth of survey and school data. Accessible, engaging, and indispensable for any consideration of the changing face of American society, this book presents a wide range of real-life stories of immigrant families - from Mexico, Cuba, Nicaragua, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad, the Philippines, China, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam - now living in Miami and San Diego, two of the areas most heavily affected by the new immigration. The authors explore the world of second-generation youth, looking at patterns of parent-child conflict and cohesion within immigrant families, the role of peer groups and school subcultures, the factors that affect the children's academic achievement, and much more. A companion volume to "Legacies", entitled "Ethnicities: Children of Immigrants in America", was published by California in Fall 2001. Edited by the authors of "Legacies", this book will bring together some of the country's leading scholars of immigration and ethnicity to provide a close look at this rising second generation. It is a co-publication with the Russell Sage Foundation.

評分對融閤的看法是“不可避免”,問題是移民會進入美國的哪一個社會階層,這樣看來,融入對原本在本國地位較高的新移民來說並不是什麼好事情,近幾十年來對傳統美國WASP文化挑戰也可能是因為這樣的移民越來越多。
評分美國二代移民同化過程詳解
評分課程閱讀瀏覽。非研究方嚮,且移民種族問題有情境隔閡,大部分信息和論斷不好判讀,但作為外行能看到美國學者對於移民、歸化及種族文化多元問題的獨特思考角度。來源於在加州(亞裔和墨西哥)及佛羅裏達(中南美)的大規模跨群體調查,考察移民二代身份認同、社群紐帶、語言變化、傢庭關係與環境、教育進步及對美國同化政策的反應。各種族裔移民群體往往因文化及凝聚力不一而對美國産生不同的觀感和忠誠度,對子女教育及上升重視程度也不同;極力融入美國社會的二代有時反過來充當父母的文化教師;二代並不天然地擁有雙語優勢,有母語英語靈活者,也有在掙紮於學英語同時丟失母語者,根據不同的語言掌握程度有時會主動或被動地接受美國文化的某些成分而丟棄其他,或不慎接受瞭美式逆反文化;美國簡單的種族分類法使部分堅持國傢認同的二代産生抗拒。
