Ethnic Stratification and the Study of the Chicanos.

Morrissey, Marietta

Journal of Ethnic Studies, v10 n4 p71-99 Win 1983

Examines three analytical perspectives in the sociological study of ethnic minorities that have influenced Mexican-American studies: (1) international colonialism; (2) class; and (3) a Marxian focus on the international world system. Points to a transition in ethnic studies away from the assumption of similarity to recognition of variation in American minority experience. (Author/MJL)
