Formal and Informal Associations: Dominicans and Colombians in New York.

Sassen-Koob, Saskia

International Migration Review, v13 n2 p314-32 Sum 1979

There are more associations in the Dominican community than in the Colombian. Almost all Colombian associations are of "elite" status in terms of the stratification system internal to the community. Dominican associations are basically recreational clubs, while Colombian associations tend to be cultural/civic and professional. (Author/MC)
