Sample Essay – Spatial Assimilation
Skop, Emily, Li, Wei (2005), in an effort to examine the process of spatial assimilation more multifaceted and complexly, explore different ways of understanding racial/ethnic residential patterns. The authors examine patterns of modern Asian Indian and Chinese settlement in two urban areas: Austin and Phoenix. The two areas represent newly upcoming Asian centers.
In their study, the authors note that little consideration has been drawn away from usual immigrant gateways to the increasing population of Asians in other parts of the United States. They also note an analysis of the residential geography within the upcoming settlement areas.
They argue that understanding what is happening in the areas will provide a richer and fuller account of the varied residential patterns of minorities and a clear understanding of the assimilation process.
Asian population increased by 72% between 1990 and 2000, from 6.9 million to 11.9 million. In comparison, the U.S. population grew by 13% between 1990 and 2000, from 248.7 million to 281.4 million (US Census Bureau 1990, 2000).
