In an age where racial and ethnic identity intersect, intertwine,
and interact in increasingly complex ways, Black Ethnics: Race,
Immigration, and the Pursuit of the American Dream offers a superb
and rigorous analysis of black politics and coalitions in the
post-Civil Rights era. Using an original survey of a New York City
labor population and multiple national data sources, author
Christina M. Greer explores the political significance of ethnicity
for new immigrant and native-born blacks. Black Ethnics concludes
that racial and ethnic identities affect the ways in which black
ethnic groups conceptualize their possibilities for advancement and
placement within the American polity. The ethnic and racial dual
identity for blacks leads to significant distinctions in political
behavior, feelings of incorporation, and policy choices in ways not
previously theorized. The steady immigration of black populations
from Africa and the Caribbean over the past few decades has
fundamentally changed the racial, ethnic, and political landscape
in the U.S. An important question for social scientists is how
these 'new' blacks will behave politically in the US. Should we
expect new black immigrants to orient themselves to politics in the
same manner as native Blacks? Will the different histories of the
new immigrants and native-born blacks lead to different political
orientations and behavior, and perhaps to political tensions and
conflict among black ethnic groups residing in America? And to what
extent will this new population fracture the black coalition inside
of the Democratic party? With increases in immigration of black
ethnic populations in the U.S., the political, social, and economic
integration processes of black immigrants does not completely echo
that of native-born American blacks. The emergent complexity of
black intra-racial identity and negotiations within the American
polity raise new questions about black political incorporation,
assimilation, acceptance, and fulfillment of the American Dream. By
comparing Afro-Caribbean and African groups to native-born blacks,
this book develops a more nuanced and accurate understanding of the
'new black America' in the twenty-first century. Lastly, Black
Ethnics explores how foreign-born blacks create new ways of
defining and understanding black politics and coalitions in the
post-Civil Rights era.
