From the book "Mexican Americans Across Generations."This book has addressed the question of Mexican immigrants’ and their descendants’ integration into U.S. society. One more glimpse into respondents’ lives reinforces the point that racial/ethnic identity is a fluid process that is highly contingent upon context and that assimilation path-ways are not straightforward but open to voluntary personal switchbacks and vicissitudes driven by external social forces.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-SAracializationassimilationMexican immigrantsidentityfluiditygenerationsBook chapterhttps://orcid.org/0000-0002-5948-4244
