@article{monroe_hall_2018, title={Colorism and US Immigration: Considerations for Researchers}, volume={62}, ISSN={["1552-3381"]}, DOI={10.1177/0002764218810753}, abstractNote={Research on colorism in the United States frequently focuses on people of color who were born in the country such as African Americans. Globalization, however, requires social scientists to consider new dimensions of intraracial discrimination as research studies must attend to realities and standpoints about race, as well as other forms of categorization, that are not traditionally represented in conversations about in-group stratification. In this article, we consider how colorism acts as a force that propels many immigrants toward identification with whiteness. Based on historical and contemporary snapshots of immigrant trends in the United States, we discuss how and why some groups opt to self-identify as racially White and/or align themselves with the ideological status quo regardless of their racial, phenotypic, and/or cultural self-ascriptions.}, number={14}, journal={AMERICAN BEHAVIORAL SCIENTIST}, author={Monroe, Carla R. and Hall, Ronald E.}, year={2018}, month={Dec}, pages={2037–2054} }
