Title Assimilation theory examined: its effectiveness in explaining the Japanese American religious experience
Date 1992-08
Year graduated 1992
Description The United States is considered by numerous scholars and academics as a country of immigrants where diverse racial and ethnic traditions, beliefs, and values make up an important part of the North American landscape. The majority of racial and ethnic immigrant groups have been successful in finding their niche in this society and have adapted their immigrant lifestyles to a new "American way of life." Sociologists have examined and written extensively in the area of racial/ethnic relations, and the adaptation process of immigrant groups to the host society's culture. The work of Robert E. Parks and his "race relations cycle" is considered the most famous of these sociological models.
