While you are welcome to use Takaki and other course materials in your paper (cite them!), you must consult a minimum of three external peer reviewed journal articles, government documents, or chapters from other scholarly books, * published in 2010 or after, to help you provide more in-depth analysis. Older references are fine as additional references, as some texts are classics, but you must have three newer ones. Failure to use at least three scholarly peer-reviewed sources published in 2010 or after will result in a substantial docking of your grade. (*University press books; serious ‘trade' books written for a scholarly audience such as Sage, Basic Books, etc. Check with me if you need help with this.) Use APA citation and reference system.
The below questions (coordinated to the interview questions above) might be fruitful research topics.
Question 1: What were/are the major causes of immigration in the 20th/21st century to the U.S. by members of this nation group? Consider when your subject immigrated when you do the research.
Question 2: What were the peak years for immigration of this group to the USA? Why?
Question 3: What are some of the biggest challenges members of this group experience in the U.S.?
Question 4: Have recent US laws or international events impacted this group in the USA? For example: If your subject is from Mexico, major developments in Arizona law have had serious consequences for Mexican-Americans and other peoples from Latin America. If your subject is from an Arab Middle Eastern nation, wars, terror, and political events have had a serious impact on cultural attitudes toward immigration from some nations.
Question 5: How has the group been received by the dominant U.S. population?
Question 6: How have they adjusted to life in the USA?
Question 7: What is their typical educational attainment?
Question 8: What kinds of jobs, careers and professions do they typically enter?
