Breaking the racial barriers: Variations in interracial marriage between 1980 and 1990

Abstract: Using PUMS data from the 1980 and the 1990 U.S. Census, I apply log-linear models to examine interracial marriage among whites, African Americans, Hispanics, and Asian Americans. Rarely, but increasingly between 1980 and 1990, interracial marriage of whites occurs most frequently with Asian Americans, followed by Hispanics, and then by African Americans. Interracial marriage tends to be educationally homogamous and the odds of interracial marriage increase with couples' educational attainment. Among interracia… Show more

“…Annual marriage records in 33 states reveal that black-white intermarriage has increased significantly in both northern and southern states since the legal ban on intermarriage was lifted, although it remains exceptionally low (Kalmijn 1993b). Comparisons of the 1980 and 1990 American censuses confirm this conclusion (Qian 1997). Ethnic characteristics that are not included in marriage licenses have primarily been analyzed through synthetic cohort analyses.…”

“…Ao teorizar sobre casamentos inter-raciais nos Estados Unidos, Merton (1941) argumenta que normas de endogamia seriam muito fortes para os diferentes grupos étnicos. Outros autores enfatizam que a expansão educacional levaria os indivíduos a se tornarem mais independentes em relação às normas de seus grupos de origem, o que implicaria um aumento dos casamentos entre grupos raciais ou com origens de classe distintas (Qian, 1997). Valores particularistas relacionados aos grupos de origem seriam substituídos por valores universalistas ligados à sociedade moderna, em que as pessoas tendem a ter mais educação (Smits, Ultee e Lammers, 1998).…”

“…Il risultato che ne è conseguito, dunque, è riscontrabile nel percorso del processo di assimilazione che, in casi come questo presenti in molti paesi, ha preteso l'abbandono da parte dei gruppi minoritari dei principali aspetti delle loro culture e il relativo riconoscimento di uno spazio esiguo ai valori peculiari delle stesse. Negli anni gli americani hanno comunque avuto l'opportunità di entrare in contatto con numerose etnie e, di conseguenza, hanno potuto ridurre lo stereotipo e stabilire nuove amicizie, come ad esempio i più giovani all'interno del college (Qian, 1997).…”
