Xu, Jun; Lee, Jennifer C. – Social Forces, 2013
In this article, we propose a shift in race research from a one-dimensional hierarchical approach to a multidimensional system of racial stratification.

Yet the language capacity of the United States remains poorly documented. The 2000 General Social…
