Jessica M. Vasquez

University of Kansas
Research Initiative: 

Vasquez will write a book investigating whether and to what extent Latino intermarriage with non-Hispanic whites facilitates the adoption of an “American” identity and integration into the mainstream for both parents and children. Vasquez will also explore the effects of Latino marriages to other racial minorities, and between Latino co-ethnics, on ethnic solidarity, cultural retention, and self-perception.
