Immigrants, Schooling and Social Mobility

Does Culture Make a Difference?

Herausgegeben: Vermeulen, H.; Perlmann, J.

Beschreibung

Immigrants, Schooling and Social Mobility confronts a central issue in the study of immigration and ethnicity - the opposition between culture and structure - and presents a collection of essays that transcend simplistic either/or approaches to this issue. The contributors explore educational and economic mobility of immigrant groups in Europe and America.
