Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Using recent census data, we compare patterns of interracial marriage in six different contexts where immigration has played a central role in population composition. We hypothesize that rates of intermarriage will be influenced by: (1) the history of inequality and racial oppression, and cultural and linguisitic differences that arise from the form of immigration, and (2) global trends promoting choice in formation of intimate relationships and racial equality—we use age as a surrogate for trends. We first estimate log-linear models to gauge the extent of overall homogamy and race specific homogamy in each cultural setting. We then use multinomial logistic regression to evaluate age differences. Cross-cultural differences in rates of intermarriage are substantial. Intermarriage is quite common in societies where racial tensions associated with immigration are less dramatic (Hawaii and New Zealand), almost non-existant among some groups in societies where strong tension remains between immigrants and native people (Xinjiang Province, China and South Africa), and intermediate in societies with a moderate degree of tension (United States and Canada). Age is generally negatively associated with intermarriage, with some interesting exceptions. Interracial marriage in general is becoming more common in the arenas we examine.
