  Asian American Assimilation: Ethnicity

  Immigration

  and Socioeconomic Attainment

  Using comprehensive data from the U.S. Census

  Dr. C.N. Le broadens the idea of assimilation to include socioeconomic and institutional examples of immigrant and minority group integration by analyzing outcomes such as income

  occupational prestige

  small business ownership

  residential segregation

  and intermarriage for five Asian American groups

  with an emphasis on Vietnamese. The results show that many Asian Americans

  especially Vietnamese Americans

  have historically and continue to encounter several disadvantages

  particularly compared to Whites

  when it comes to achieving structural integration. Nonetheless

  many have been able to overcome such initial challenges in a relatively short amount of time by using collective resources and maintaining ethnic solidarity to weave together a pattern of achievement

  mobility

  and tradition. In analyzing the interconnections between history

  institutional conditions

  and community solidarity

  Dr. Le’s book serves as a valuable reference point and resource for students

  policymakers

  and Americans from all backgrounds.
