“…More recently, however, there has been an emerging awareness that the integration of immigrant groups into the larger society does not necessarily require a loss of ethnicity. London (1967) maintains that integration (which is more closely related to Downloaded by [University of Toronto Libraries] at 13:46 03 January 2015 acculturation than to assimilation) implies 'interaction between the minority group and the host society with a resultant change in the cultural amalgam, but without loss of cultural identity'. Krausz (1972) is less idealistic than London in that he recognizes the improbability of the dominant group changing substantially in the direction of the subordinate minority group.…”

“…Liberalism seems a commendable ideology, and its implications for acculturation policies seem also commendable. Liberal multiculturalism policies can be, and are, advocated without recourse to empirical evidence (e.g., Krymlicka, 1995;London, 1967). But as an unseen bias shared by the whole field, liberalism contaminates acculturation science.…”

Dictionary definitions concur that “acculturation” means second-culture acquisition, but “acculturation” began as a Eurocentric concept that inferior peoples improve themselves by imitating superior peoples. Shadows of this persist despite the acceleration of acculturation research from nine studies per decade in the 1920s to the current rate of more than 6000 per decade. Reviews of this research have noted confused findings and lack of utility. Critics either (1) advocate for qualitative methods because culture, identity, and human experience are too complex for psychometric methods, or (2) recommend new models and new forms of quantitative analysis, or (3) fault research for poor social science practices. Rudmin (2006) has argued that academics’ shared liberal ideology causes collective confirmation bias that shapes research to promote advocacy of bicultural integration. Many future research designs and projects are proposed, including emic studies of rural-urban migration in China and the development of single-case measures of acculturative competence.

“…Berry (1983) suggested that integration as a mode of acculturation leads to structural assimilation of two cultures, but little cultural and behavioral assimilation. London (1967) argued that although integration involves interaction and adaptation between two cultures and requires mutual contributions by both groups, it does not involve loss of cultural identity by either. As a result, the acquired company's employees try to maintain many of the basic assumptions, beliefs, cultural elements, and organizational practices and systems that make them unique.…”
