Durable Ethnicity: Mexican Americans and the Ethnic Core

By Edward E. Telles and Christina A. Sue

Book Overview

In Durable Ethnicity, Edward Telles and Christina A. Sue examine what ethnicity means and how it is negotiated in the lives of multiple generations of Mexican Americans. Rooted in a large-scale longitudinal and representative survey of 1,500 Mexican Americans, Telles and Sue draw on in-depth interviews to examine individual ethnic strategies and demonstrate that integration is often a back and forth process that varies by individual rather than a one-way movement.
