Hi, need to submit a 1250 words paper on the topic Immigration: Amalgamation Theory. According to Conrad (200), immigration affects the minority groups in the destination countries, both positively and negatively because of the increase in population. The minority groups in the United States include African-Americans, Latinos, and Hispanics (Conrad 199). This discussion will consider the effects of immigration on African-Americans in the United States because the African-Americans constitute the largest minority group. Amalgamation Theory The effects of immigration on African-Americans range from social to cultural to economic effects. Amalgamation theory can relevantly describe the cultural effects of immigration. Conrad (334) defines amalgamation as the processes through which different cultures or ethnic groups intermingle, but remain distinguishable. Immigrants, especially the African immigrants have a great impact on the culture of African-Americans because they interact freely. Amalgamation leads to both positive and negative outcomes to the African-Americans. For instance, Africans possess some values and beliefs such as showing respect to elderly members, which can positively transform the African-Americans and other ethnic groups in the United States (Conrad 311).
