The Texas A&M Sociology Department Presents "Generations of Exclusion: Mexican Americans, Assimilation, and Race" a colloquium presentation by Vilma Ortiz, Professor of Sociology, University of California - Los Angeles. The presentation is Monday November 16th, 1:30-3:00 pm in Conference Room 204E of Evans Library. Professor Ortiz received her PhD from New York University. She has published widely in the areas of race and ethnicity, minority relations, immigration, Latina/o populations in the United States, and Latino sociology. Her book "Generations of Exclusion: Mexican Americans, Assimilation, and Race" with Edward E. Telles received the Otis Dudley Duncan Award from the Population Section of the American Sociological Association. The book follows Mexican American integration on many different dimensions: education, language use, socioeconomic status, intermarriage, ethnic identity, and political participation. The study contains some encouraging findings, but many more that are troubling. Telles and Ortiz identify institutional barriers as a major source of continuing Mexican American disadvantage.
