Abstract:
|
A main finding of this paper is that Dominican and Mexican immigrants incorporate into separate work sectors aided by distinct networks and household structures. Mexicans’ access to jobs is contingent upon a wider spread of network links established by earlier cohorts. The expansion of these links as well as the “in-between” racial identity of Mexicans in NYC contributes to the group’s increased work integration and work niche expansion. These processes connect newly arrived Mexican women into sectors through spouses/male partners’ network links and equally enable them to cross racial and class boundaries within work establishments not easily accessible to Dominicans or other minority groups in NYC. Hence, I argue that as a result, Mexicans are experiencing a more ethnicized immigrant adjustment process in New York City, one which contrasts the more marginalized and isolated, racialized integration which characterizes the experiences of poor and working poor Dominican women in the 1990s. |
