Mass Migration After The Second African-american Family Status, Causes, And Its Development Trend

The topic of the thesis: The Statuses, The Cause Of Formation And The Trend Of The Development Of The American Black Families Since The Second Large-scale MigrationThe thesis is divided into five parts-the preface, the epilogue and three chapters.There are about 40 thousand words.The preface emphasizes the meaning of choosing the topic and elaborates the basic gistof the thesis-The Theory of Social Stratification on the basis of briefly reviewingthe status of research on the topic home and abroad. There are some reasons for focusing on the black families since the second large-scale migration. First, it is believed that the true black families took shape after they were liberated. Second, it is believed that the black families since the second large-scale migration deserve more research. And third, because obviously divided since the second large-scale migration, the black families have presented varied modes and the trend of finalizing the design. So they are closer to the contemporary modes of the black families. The researches on the topic in the domestic academic circles haven't got anywhere and most of them are reduced to superficiality. Although the researches on the topic in overseas academic circles have been more comprehensive and systematic, the research fruits by using scientific theory and lately resources are not many. In view of this, using the lately resources and such ways as statistics, especially the theory of social stratification, I will depict the statuses of the black families of different classes. And on the basis of this, I will probe into the cause of formation of the black families and the trend of development of the black race, which is the focus of American social problems, will be forecasted reasonably.The first chapter emphasizes the statuses of the black families of the upper-middle class, lower-middle class and lower class by comparing them with the white families of the same classes, which educes the key question: why are the statuses of the black families distinctly different from those of the white families of the same classes? The answer to the question is that the main reason for this is the racial system.In the second chapter, the factors that affect the forming of the modes of the black families are searched in the struggling history, in which the black people resisted the white people's racial system .The pure education commended by Booker T. Washington, the separatism of Marcus Garvey and the struggle for civil rights of W. E. B. Du Bois are mainly discussed. The third chapter emphasizes the new development brought by the emergence of themulticulturalism in the 70s' and 80s' of the 20th century to the black families. On the one side, the civil rights movement forced the American government to promulgate a series of decrees to guarantee the political, economic and social rights of the ethnic groups. On the other side, it made the racial consciousness of the ethnic groups further strengthened. The civil rights movement is the direct cause of the emergence of the multiculturalism. On the influence of multiculturalism, the education level and the career status of the black people are continually heightened, the income increased and the economic status greatly improved. Because the attitude of the white society to the ethnic groups is more tolerant, the number of intermarriage between the black people and the white people is increasing. The racial consciousness of the black people is strengthening and more of them have believed in Islam. The new phenomena have great effect on the development of the black families.The epilogue expounds the extensiveness of the cultural assimilation and the slowness of the structural assimilation of the black people, which educes the absurd theory of the white society. The theory is that the white society is, on the one hand, eager to maintain the dominant status of the Anglo-Saxon culture and, on the other hand, does its' utmost to resist the assimilation of the ethnic groups. When "pluralism" becomes inevitable in the American s...
