Les migrants africains aux États-Unis sont-ils intégrés ? Sont-ils assimilés ? Les deux ? Quelle est leur place dans la société américaine, notamment par rapport aux WASPs ? Pour répondre à ces questions ce travail tente de définir les notions d’intégration et d’assimilation et se penche pour commencer sur la genèse et le contexte sociohistorique de l’immigration africaine aux États-Unis. A l’aide de la bibliographie disponible, de statistiques officielles, d’un questionnaire inédit et d’entretiens il observe les causes de l’immigration et les différentes catégories de migrants, selon leurs origines géographiques, sociales, religieuses, etc. puis selon leurs activités aux États-Unis (prenant en compte la fuite des cerveaux, le business ethnique, etc.). Les degrés et stratégies d’intégration économique, sociale, politique, culturelle sont étudiés ainsi que les degrés et stratégies d’assimilation. Pour finir les perspectives d’avenir des migrants étudiés sont examinées. Mots clés. Intégration, assimilation, Diaspora, migrants, religion, identité, multiculturalisme, perspectives, États-Unis, WASPs. Abstract The African Diaspora in the US from 1960 to nowadays: integration and / or assimilation ? Are African migrants to the United States integrated? Are they assimilated? Both? What is their place exactly in American society, notably in regards to WASPs? To answer those questions this research work attempts to define the notions of integration and assimilation and looks at the birth and the sociohistorical context of African immigration to the U.S. With the help of the available bibliography, official statistics, an original poll and personal interviews it observes the causes of immigration and the different categories of African migrants, according to geographical, social, religious, etc. origins, then according to their activities in the U.S. (notably taking into account the “brain drain,” ethnic business…). The extent and strategies of economic, social, political then cultural integration are studied, as well as the extent and strategies of linguistic and cultural assimilation. To conclude, the perspectives of African migrants in the U.S. are examined. Key words. Integration, assimilation, Diaspora, migrants, religion, identity, multiculturalism, perspectives, United States, WASPs. 3 Table des matières Remerciements …………………………………………………………….. … p. 2 Résumé………………………………………………………………………… p. 3 Résumé en anglais……………………………………………………………… p. 3 Table des matières………………………………………………………………. p. 4 Introduction………………………………………………………………………p. 9 Première partie : Genèse et contexte sociohistorique de l’immigration africaine aux États-Unis.

  • A Meta-Regression Analysis on the Association Between Income Inequality and Intergenerational Transmission of Income
    A meta-regression analysis on the association between income inequality and intergenerational transmission of income Ernesto F. L. Amaral Texas A&M University [email protected] Sharron X. Wang Texas A&M University [email protected] Shih-Keng Yen Texas A&M University [email protected] Francisco Perez-Arce University of Southern California [email protected] Abstract Our overall aim is to understand the association between income inequality and intergenerational transmission of income (degree to which conditions at birth and childhood determine socioeconomic situation later in life). Causality is hard to establish, because both income inequality and inequality in opportunity are results of complex social and economic outcomes. We analyze whether this correlation is observed across countries and time (as well as within countries), in a context of recent increases in income inequality. We investigate Great Gatsby curves and perform meta-regression analyses based on several papers on this topic. Results suggest that countries with high levels of income inequality tend to have higher levels of inequality of opportunity. Intergenerational income elasticity has stronger associations with Gini coefficient, compared to associations with top one percent income share. Once fixed effects are included for each country and study paper, these correlations lose significance. Increases in income inequality not necessarily bring decreases in intergenerational mobility maybe as a result of different drivers of inequality having diverse effects on mobility, as well as a consequence of public policies that might reduce associations between income inequality and inequality of opportunity. Keywords Income inequality. Intergenerational transmission of income. Intergenerational mobility. Inequality of opportunity. Great Gatsby Curve.

Edwards Edwin Erle Sparks Professor of English and Comparative Literature Head of the Department of Comparative Literature *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT In The Students of Human Rights, I propose that the role of the cultural figure of the American student activist of the Long Sixties in human rights literature enables us to identify a pedagogy of deficit and indebtedness at work within human rights discourse. My central argument is that a close and comparative reading of the role of this cultural figure in the American context, anchored in three representative cases from Argentina—a dictatorship, Mexico—a nominal democracy, and Puerto Rico—a colonially-occupied and minoritized community within the United States, reveals that the liberal idealization of the subject of human rights relies upon the implicit pedagogical regulation of an educable subject of human rights.

    THE DARKER THE FLESH, THE DEEPER THE ROOTS: TRANSNATIONAL IDENTITY AND SECOND-GENERATION BLACK IMMIGRANTS OF CONTINENTAL AFRICAN DESCENT A Dissertation by JEFFREY F. OPALEYE Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Joe R. Feagin Committee Members, Jane A. Sell Mary Campbell Srividya Ramasubramanian Head of Department, Jane A. Sell August 2020 Major Subject: Sociology Copyright 2020 Jeffrey F. Opaleye ABSTRACT Since the inception of the Immigration Act of 1965, Black immigrant groups have formed a historic, yet complex segment of the United States population. While previous research has primarily focused on the second generation of Black immigrants from the Caribbean, there is a lack of research that remains undiscovered on America’s fastest-growing Black immigrant group, African immigrants. This dissertation explores the transnational identity of second-generation Black immigrants of continental African descent in the United States. Using a transnational perspective, I argue that the lives of second-generation African immigrants are shaped by multi-layered relationships that seek to maintain multiple ties between their homeland and their parent’s homeland of Africa. This transnational perspective brings attention to the struggles of second-generation African immigrants. They are replicating their parents’ ethnic identities, maintaining transnational connections, and enduring regular interactions with other racial and ethnic groups while adapting to mainstream America. As a result, these experiences cannot be explained by traditional and contemporary assimilation frameworks because of their prescriptive, elite, white dominance framing and methods that were designed to explain the experiences of European immigrants.
