Document Summary
O if two or more groups come together in a contact situation characterized by ethnocentrism, competition, and a differential in power, then some form of racial or ethnic stratification will result: ethnocentrism, competition. =tendency to judge other groups by one"s standards of one"s own culture; can lead to viewing other societies as inferior to one"s own ( us and them ) feelings) and hostile actions (discrimination) from other groups. Notes: race and ethnicity; pg 101-104 (4th edition); pg 168-171 (5th edition) The noel hypothesis: between groups: minority groups created by colonization will experience more intense prejudice, racism, and discrimination than those created by immigration. They are assigned to positions (slave status) and assimilation is very difficult. : are at least in part voluntary participants in the host society. As a result, they do not occupy positions that are as markedly inferior as those of colonized groups.
