SOCI 4387: Capstone Seminar Spring 2020 Due date: Saturday, 3/14, 11:59 pm 40 points Comparing and Contrasting Assimilation Theories Purpose: The purpose of this assignment is to compare and contrast theoretical orientations in sociology. For this paper, you will explain and critically evaluate major theoretical positions that are currently advanced to explain assimilation and social mobility. You will focus on theoretical perspectives that Clergé refers to as old and neo-assimilation theories. In Children of the Yam (Chapter 2) and Blood Pudding (Chapter 3), you will find historical evidence and examples of the different obstacles that Black (im)migrants have experienced in their assimilation process and pathway to middle-class. Keep in mind that the author’s critical evaluation of current assimilation theories provide the background for her examination of the racial formations and migrations of Black Americans, Haitians, and Jamaicans, and her views on the role of racism, class, and segregation. Assignment: Write a professional 5-6 page paper typed and double-spaced. The paper should include a summary and critical evaluation of at least two theoretical perspectives on assimilation and social mobility (e.g. acculturation, assimilation theory, segmented assimilation). You can either read the original material cited by Clergé or conduct a bibliographical search to find sociological articles on assimilation theories. You will need to use your NetID to access electronic databases through the Ottenheimer Library. Your paper should include at least five citations from peer-reviewed academic articles. Do not summarize each article. Follow the recommendations of Balmer and Murcott’s The Craft of Writing in Sociology for making an argument using a compare and contrast approach (chapter 2). Keep your language formal and avoid contractions. If you work with an open-source word processor, create a PDF file before uploading your file.
