  • Descrição: Richard Alba, the American sociologist whose research is known for developing assimilation theory to fit the contemporary multi-racial era of immigration, reflects on the evolution of his thinking, influences and future directions for sociology in this interview. In a wide-ranging discussion, Alba talks about his early motivations and personal experiences that brought him to the topic of assimilation and his way of doing sociological research. He then moves on to discuss the impact of Re-making the American Mainstream (2003), co-authored with Victor Nee, one of the most highly cited books in sociology. After offering his thoughts on the benefits and limits of cross-Atlantic exchanges on integration and assimilation, Alba addresses recent challenges from postcolonial and critical race theories. The conversation then shifts to examine in detail some of his contemporary views outlined in The Great Demographic Illusion (2020) and elsewhere. Finally, Alba looks forward to the next steps of his journey.
