Description
Christina M. Greer's Black Ethnics: Race, Immigration, and the Pursuit of the American Dream offers a rigorous analysis of black politics and coalitions in the post-Civil Rights era.
The author explores how racial and ethnic identities affect the ways in which black ethnic groups conceptualize their possibilities for advancement and placement within the American polity. Using an original survey of a New York City labor population and multiple national data sources, Greer examines the political significance of ethnicity for new immigrant and native-born blacks.
The book sheds light on how 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 US. It also considers the potential implications for the black coalition within the Democratic party.
