Abstracts Of Papers Presented At The 7th Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies Jan 1979

Abstracts Of Papers Presented At The 7th Annual Conference On Ethnic And Minority Studies

Explorations in Ethnic Studies

Rogg's (1974) seminal work, The Assimilation of Cuban Exiles; The Role of Community and Class--a sociological study of the Cuban community in the town of West New York in northeastern New Jersey. Although taking issue with some of the author's theses, this paper elaborates on other findings of the book in question by means of more recent participant-observation field research in the same neighborhood. For example, the new data confirms Rogg's proposition that the organized ethnic minority helps to direct the process of acculturation, though slowly.
