One fifth of the population of the United States belongs to the
immigrant or second generations. While the US is generally thought
of as the immigrant society par excellence, it now has a number of
rivals in Europe. "The Next Generation" brings together studies
from top immigration scholars to explore how the integration of
immigrants affects the generations that come after. The original
essays explore the early beginnings of the second generation in the
United States and Western Europe, exploring the overall patterns of
success of the second generation.
While there are many striking similarities in the situations of
the children of labor immigrants coming from outside the highly
developed worlds of Europe and North America, wherever one looks,
subtle features of national and local contexts interact with
characteristics of the immigrant groups themselves to create
variations in second-generation trajectories. The contributors show
that these issues are of the utmost importance for the future, for
they will determine the degree to which contemporary immigration
will produce either durable ethno-racial cleavages or mainstream
integration.
