Research on assimilation and racialization in the U.S. has focused largely on black Caribbeans and the extent to which they perceive themselves as Americans, Black Americans, or hold a national origin identity. However, the question of how racial identity, linked fate, and assimilation interrelate applies more broadly to immigrants of all race and ethnic groups. Just as research on race and politics is often limited to the study of only white racial attitudes, research on racial identity and linked fate needs to move beyond a focus on nonwhite identity to include whites, and also to take into account how immigrants are socialized and incorporated into American politics, oftentimes via race. In this paper, we examine the determinants of perceptions of racial identity and common fate among immigrants, utilizing the 2004-2005 National Politics Study (NPS); its broad national sample of Americans, including Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and Afro-Caribbeans, allows us to study immigrants of different racial groups and also compare their opinions to those of native-born Americans. We also analyze the effect of these identities on political attitudes and the extent to which they motivate political actions. |
