- Journal Title Details:
- 10(1) : 109-130
- Notes:
- Using Black women's responses to same-race sexual assault, demonstrates how scholars can use interpersonal violence to understand social processes and develop conceptual models. African and Caribbean immigrants often avoid the language of social structure in their rape accounts and use cultural references to distance themselves from African Americans.

- Journal Title:
- Cancer Causes & Control
- Journal Title Details:
- 22(4) : 599-610
- Notes:
- Investigates the associations between reproductive and menstrual risk factors for breast cancer and mammographic density, a strong risk factor for breast cancer, in a predominantly ethnic minority and immigrant sample. Interviewed women (42% African American, 22% African Caribbean, 22% White, 9% Hispanic Caribbean, 5% other) without a history of breast cancer during their mammography appointment (n = 191, mean age = 50). Concludes that the mean level of mammographic density did not differ across ethnic and nativity groups, but several risk factors for breast cancer were associated with density in ethnic minority and immigrant women.
14. Slippery Segregation: Discovering or Manufacturing Ghettos?
- Collection:
- Black Caribbean Literature (BCL)
- Contributers:
- Peach,Ceri (Author)
- Format:
- Journal Article
- Publication Date:
- 2009 Nov
- Published:
- Abingdon, UK: Routledge/Taylor & Francis
- Location:
- African American Research Center, Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- Journal Title:
- Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies
- Journal Title Details:
- 35(9) : 1381-1395
- Notes:
- Controversy exploded in 2005 over a paper at the Annual Conference of the Royal Geographical Society and the Institute of British Geographers which claimed that ethnic segregation in Britain was increasing, ghettos had formed and some British cities were more segregated than Chicago. The paper asserted that indexes failed to measure segregation and should be abandoned in favour of a threshold schema of concentrations using raw data. These assertions were repeated by Trevor Phillips, Director the Commission for Racial Equality, in an inflammatory speech claiming that Britain was sleepwalking into American-style segregation. The argument of this paper is that the index approach is indeed necessary, that ethnic segregation in Britain is decreasing, that the threshold criteria for the claim that British ghettos exist has manufactured ghettos rather than discovered them. A Pakistani ghetto under the schema could be 40 per cent Pakistani, 30 per cent White, 20 per cent Indian and 10 per cent Caribbean. In 2000, 60 per cent of Chicago's Blacks lived in a true ghetto of tracts that were 90-100 per cent Black. Adapted from the source document.
15. The Racial Unconscious Of Assimilation Theory
- Collection:
- Black Caribbean Literature (BCL)
- Contributers:
- Jung,Moon-Kie (Author)
- Format:
- Journal Article
- Publication Date:
- 2009 fall
- Published:
- New York, NY: Cambridge University Press
- Location:
- African American Research Center, Library, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
- Journal Title:
- Du Bois Review: Social Science Research on Race
- Journal Title Details:
- 6(2) : 375-395
- Notes:
- In the past two decades, migration scholars have revised and revitalized assimilation theory to study the large and growing numbers of migrants from Latin America, Asia, and the Caribbean and their offspring in the United States. Neoclassical and segmented assimilation theories seek to make sense of the current wave of migration that differs in important ways from the last great wave at the turn of the 20th century and to overcome the conceptual shortcomings of earlier theories of assimilation that it inspired. This article examines some of the central assumptions and arguments of the new theories.
