Cultural Pluralism in the United States and in the Projected European Union

As political, perhaps cultural, and certainly economic forms of unity emerge in Western Europe, it becomes increasingly important for Europeans—and for Americans also—to examine sympathetically the American experience in cultural pluralism for areas of relevance to the European situation. Without some of the elements that have gone into the making of a successful United States, the Europeans may well succeed in creating material prosperity through their Common Market but fail in other areas, primarily in human relations and guaranteed freedoms. The leading strains of cultural pluralism in the United States which would be relevant to the European situation are embodied in the federal system, church-state separation, the absorption of immigration, democ racy, and constitutionalism. Europe does not have a good record for democratic government, and the democratic proc esses will bear careful watching. The question of the relative positions of church and state is unresolved in many countries in Europe and will pose grave problems. Difficulties can be anticipated in Europe in the area of constitutionalism, because people need a guiding ideal to draw them together. European union to date has been based on reaction to the horrors of war and the fear of Soviet military domination. Without a central principle to hold them together, Europe may lapse from union as the war recedes into the past and the fear of Soviet domination is relaxed.—Ed.

Israel's Export Problem and Its Policy Implications

During the first few years of Israel's existence, its economic planners placed major emphasis on progress towards the solution of basic long-run problems. These problems concerned economic development, economic absorption of mass immigration, and the economic burden of large defense outlays. While the short-run problem of the unfavorable trade balance was not ignored, it was relegated to second place in Israeli economic planning. A large-scale inflow of unilateral payments enabled the economic planners to carry on their long-run objectives without having to worry too much about the current deficit in the balance of payments. It was generally assumed that once the primary goals were reached, the balance of payments problem would take care of itself. In recent years, however, there has been a shift in emphasis. State planners are still concerned with the long-run objectives, but are being urged constantly by independent economists to give higher priority in the formulation of investment and other policies to the pressing short-run problem. Perhaps the most important reason for this shift is the prospect of a sharp decline in the inflow of capital within the next few years. At the rate at which the German reparations to Israel are being used up, they will be exhausted by 1963.1 Private contributions and transfers as well as public capital import will also taper off before long. This decline will seriously interfere with all phases of domestic production, since two thirds of Israel's imports are currently financed by capital import, and local production depends heavily on imported raw materials, spare parts, and fuel.2 The only way to minimize the impact on the economy of the transition to a self-supporting stage is by increasing exports.

Some evidence related to matrimonial selection and immigrant assimilation in Brazil

Abstract Data obtained from a random sample show that in Sao Paulo intermarriage between Brazilians and foreigners gradually increased from the onset of heavy foreign immigrant in the 1870's up to the 1920's. Intermarriage occurs most frequently between Brazilians and those of Mediterranean origin, least so with Japanese. It is concluded that common cultural characteristics facilitate intermarriage and that it is doubtful whether, as Savorgnan suggests, Italian endogamy in the U.S.A. is attributable to the immigrant's poverty and lack of education. The rates of assimilation for immigrants of various origins shown by the index of homogamy resemble those suggested by G. Mortara's study of linguistic assimilation. Matrimonial selection and linguistic assimilation appear to be equally usefull measures of immigrant absorption. Although there are differences in the ratesof intermarriage between Brazilians and the various nationalities, the rate of intermarriage between the foreign-born and persons of any nation...

The Place of Elites and Primary Groups in the Absorption of New Immigrants in Israel

The tempo and direction of adaptation of new immigrants in Israel is to a large extent dependent on the transformation of their primary groups. The relations between the primary groups and the new social and cultural system are mediated by elites which combine in their positions authority and (extended) primary relations. The elites interpret and communicate the ultimate social values and serve as symbols of security and identification with th social system. The extent of the immigrants' identification and participation within the new society is dependent on the degree of their attachment to the elites and the elites' compatibility with the general orientations of the social system.

Racial Assimilation in Secondary Groups With Particular Reference to the Negro

1 The race problem has someti:mes been described as a problem in assimilation. It is not always clear, however, what assimilation means. Historically the word has had two distinct significations. According to earlier usage it meant "to compare" or "to make like." According to later usage it signifies "to take up and incorporate." There is a process that goes on in society by which individuals spontaneously acquire one another's language, characteristic attitudes, habits, and modes of behavior. There is also a process by which individuals and groups of individuals are taken over and incorporated into larger groups. Both processes have been concerned in the formation of modern nationalities. The modern Italian, Frenchman, and German is a composite of the broken fragments of several different racial groups. Interbreeding has broken up the ancient stocks, and interaction and imitation have created new national types which exhibit definite uniformities in language, manners, and formal behavior. It has sometimes been assumed that the creation of a national type is the specific function of assimilation and that national solidarity is based upon national homogeneity and "like-mindedness." The extent and importance of the kind of homogeneity that individuals of the same nationality exhibit have been greatly exaggerated. Neither interbreeding nor interaction has created, in what the French term "nationals," a more than superficial likeness or like-mindedness. Racial differences have, to be sure, disappeared or been obscured, but individual differences remain. Individual differences, again, have been intensified by education,
