This is an interesting article - a basic synopsis of a book written by the authors, two Yale professors, of a book on the subject - that highlights a potential explanation for the relative success that some immigrant groups attain in the U.S. when compared to other immigrant groups and established groups within the U.S. The most interesting thing, to me, is that while intentionally looking at and comparing cultural group trends in terms of cultural influences the authors simultaneously dismiss any racial or genetic component.
I certainly can't imagine this book going over well with the feel-good PC crowd, Ivy League establishment, or socialistic liberals. However, it does make some interesting points.
Mash Here.
