New Blacks, New Whites, and the New Day. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 168
Landmark legislation in the 1960’s diversified and
revitalized migration flows into the US by allowing
previously excluded Asian and African peoples. Much
has been made of the massive recent migrations from
Latin America and Asia, but the presence of smaller
Black African, Black Caribbean, and White European
immigrant groups in the contemporary US provides for
a unique natural experiment. By comparing the
achievements of the latter three groups and their US-
born children, we can assess the impact of US racial
dynamics on Black and White peoples not saddled with
the history and psychology of US racism. Are White
immigrants the beneficiaries of unearned White
privilege? Are Black immigrants subjected to
segregation and exclusion? Are such advantages and
disadvantages more or less pronounced as the US-born
children of these immigrants reach adulthood? In
short, to what extent is the US willing or able to
incorporate Black people into its social fabric in
the wake of the Civil Rights Movement? These and
other pressing questions are systematically
addressed in this book.
