Fertility And Racial Stratification, Tukufu Zuberi
Fertility And Racial Stratification, Tukufu Zuberi
Tukufu Zuberi
Excerpt from the text:
This article focuses on expanding the way in which racial differences are viewed in fertility research. First, I briefly outline three major perspectives on race: essentialism, assimilationism, and racial stratification. Second, I describe the racial differences in fertility and family formation from the racial stratification perspective.
I then return to the three perspectives on race and comment on them, taking into consideration fertility and family formation. Finally, I make several suggestions concerning the future of fertility research in the United States.
